The Graphic Century reveals the symbiotic relationship that exists between graphic design and art. Structured chronologically, the publication presents a survey of posters dating back to 1903. Although they are brought together from the archives of just one institution - the Whitechapel Gallery - they are emblematic of wider ideological, technical and aesthetic tendencies.
