They developed a new form of communication that relied primarily on images and set a new direction for modern graphic design. This richly illustrated talk features numerous posters from France, England and other European nations as well as the US, that promoted a wide range of products, services, and entertainments, including books, journals, cafe concerts and circuses; contemporary fashions and department stores; cameras, typewriters, and bicycles, and transportation services like the train. This talk analyzes this rich visual archive of modern life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-meta\"><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"post-4403\" class=\"post-4403 fa_events type-fa_events status-publish hentry fa_event_type-event-staff\">\n<header class=\"entry-header\"><\/header>\n<\/article>\n<p><strong>Speaker: Ruth E.
