"Picture Posters" is a lithographic advertising poster created on paper in the United States, dating from between 1896 and the early 1900s. The artist responsible for the design is unrecorded.
The poster serves as an advertisement for a book about pictorial posters by Charles Hiatt, titled "Picture Posters: A Short History of the Illustrated Placard with Many Reproductions of the Most Artistic Examples in all Countries". The central composition is enclosed within a rectangular border and depicts a bill poster preparing a barrel with glue in order to post a sheet. Prominent red lettering features within the design.
