Artist posters collection
Visual Materials
The Artist posters collection at the Huntington Library contains over 180 printed posters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bulk of the materials date from 1890 to 1900 and advertise American literary books and periodicals. Bicycles, household goods, and other products are also advertised. Materials are fully inventoried, and all printers, artists, and publishers are indexed by name. Notable illustrators represented in the collection include William L. Carqueville, Charles Dana Gibson, J. J. Gould, William Sergeant Kendall, J. C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, and Edward Penfield. Subjects addressed within the collection include international art styles, fashion, graphic design, publishing, product advertising and the intersections between them, especially during the last decade of the 19th century. The designs encompass the popularization of Art Nouveau in the United States, as well as the advertising strategies employed by various industries in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As graphic materials, the items offer evidence of visual culture and printmaking techniques and trends, as well as information about the artists, engravers, lithographers, printers, and publishers involved in the creative process.

World War I Poster and Ephemera Collection
Visual Materials
This collection contains approximately 700 World War I propaganda posters and related ephemera dating from approximately 1914 to 1919. The posters were created primarily for government and military agencies, as well as private charities such as the American Committee for Relief in the Near East. While the majority of the collection is American, it also includes British and French posters, and a few Austro-Hungarian/German, Canadian, Belgian, Dutch, Italian, Polish, and Russian items. The images and text of the posters reflect various messages chiefly related to military recruitment and enlistment, food and fuel conservation, aid for soldiers and humanitarian causes, war work, and savings and bond programs, including many that promote the Victory Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamp campaigns in the United States. The United States Committee on Public Information, U.S. Department of the Treasury, United States Food Administration, and the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation produced many of the posters. More than 200 different artists are represented in the collection including James Montgomery Flagg, Charles Dana Gibson, and Edward Penfield in the United States; Francisque Poulbot in France; and Alfred Roller in Austria-Hungary. The collection includes more than 100 posters donated by Charles L. Heartwell (1869-1941), a banker and civic leader in Long Beach, California, who served in the United States Food Administration during World War I. These posters were acquired by Heartwell in his official capacity as a Food Administrator for Los Angeles County and occasionally reference regional recruiting stations in Long Beach. There are similar regionally focused posters for Connecticut and New York City in the collection.
