Poster Art: Swedish Posters

There is a poster collection at The Royal Library (National Library of Sweden) in Stockholm. Unfortunately only a smaller part of it is available digitally. Luckily, though, there are some good ones to see and a large portion of the site is in English. There's also other interesting stuff on the site, like swedish ephemera. I haven't checked it all out but this handbook in black magic was pretty funny.

These are the poster links you shouldn't miss:



"Artistic posters" In Swedish. A lot of beer ads (!)







"The Big Brewery's Beer is the best" Caleb Althin



Posters by artist Wilhelm Kåge In English
(Ceramics by Kåge here)






"Midnight Cabaret, at Berns" Wilhelm Kåge




Posters concerning referendums In Swedish



"No! Crawfish crave these beverages! You will have to refrain from crawfish if you do not vote NO on the 27th of August" Albert Engström (referendum on wether or not to limit sales of alcohol by quotas. We love crawfish by the way. And they do crave certain beverages.) A classic!
