I just opened Pandora's box, only to find a gazillion vintage art posters from Beirut's culture scene in the late 1900s.
You might have come across these before. I never have. I came across these while researching the AUB archives for last week's post,
The Earliest Color Photos of Beirut. I'm learning to appreciate these archives and special collections more and more, much more than I ever did as a student in AUB, which is such a shame. Thankfully, some of them are digitized and presented to the public online.
The posters were donated to AUB by a variety of collectors, including art critic Cesar Nammour and theatre actor Antoine Kerbage for AUB's "Exhibition in Art Posters in Lebanon" back in 2001.
There are 177 ones in the collection.
