Tarantino movie posters line my walls
|
"Hand lithos" were made using flexible zinc plates that were rolled around a large printing drum. The term 'hand litho' comes from the fact that the inks were applied to the plate by hand by the printers/artists who worked from tracing drafts they either executed themselves from reference material supplied by the distributors, or where the distributors contracted art studios (like Richardson for example) to execute the artwork.

Richardson Studio Australian daybills are my passion
|
Richardson Studio daybills are among the most highly sought daybills and one of the few movie posters that are collected as much for their art as for the movie they advertised.
John Richardson started Richardson Studio and provided art primarily for Paramount releases from the 1920s to 1960s. Even when art was not created by Richardson himself, the daybills design provided a consistency of style and fine use of both the earlier stone litho and later hand-litho printing processes.
