• “Broadsides have a long and honorable history. Printed on one side of a large sheet of paper, they were originally used for proclamations and official notices. By the 16th century, the broadside became an instrument for political agitation, entertainment, advertisements, and poetry to be handed out on street corners. They were simple to print, cheap to produce, and easy to distribute. The broadside is the ubiquitous flyer and the poster. One aspect of the broadside has been its evolution as an art form. Today these single sided communications have been adapted and transformed into an art form by poets and artists who find the combining of words and images an inexhaustible resource of creative output.” – James R. Nelson, Visual Arts Critic for the Birmingham News on Vamp & Tramp’s Art of the Broadside exhibition in August 2003.

This month’s list demonstrates the evolution of the broadside as an art form. Fantastic paper, complex typography, and exceptional printing set these broadsides apart. For an expansive list of all the broadsides we have on hand, take a look at our broadside catalog here.
