Product Review: Historic/Patriotic Prints from History America
By Dale Golla
Back in college, I was an avid poster collector. To me, there was no better way to spruce up the walls of a newly moved in apartment than throwing up some posters that had hobbies and interests that I enjoyed. Two times a year, a big poster show would come to campus with lots of different posters which would get me very animated. However, I was never able to find any cool history posters to show off my love for American history. After checking out History America’s History Posters, I finally get to say I found a super cool and nice history poster that I would be proud to show off to others.
Something I never appreciated until I started collecting posters was the high-quality graphics. I’ve been around long enough to see some rather low-quality prints of posters that had me second guessing why I even bought it. However, I did not get the same reaction when inspecting History America’s Posters. The watercolor-styled prints are printed on an acid-free matte text with fade-free ink, meaning that not only does it look good, but also has the feel and durability of a high-quality poster. Another aspect of these posters I really appreciated was the varying sizes for sale. Not only do you have to choose from the standard 11 ¾” x 36” Poster size, but also the smaller 6” x 24” variant as well, in case you need something a little smaller.
Do you like to buy your posters rolled up for transport? Maybe you like to get them sleeved with cardboard so they don’t wrinkle and bend? Not a problem, History America provides both for the convenience of their customers. I like this option since some people will want to frame their poster right away, that is why this is a helpful option. Also worth noting is the convenient retail storage when on display for customers. The counter-top and standalone display stands display the posters nicely and without fail. It is sure to catch the eye of a few passing customers.
Finally, one of the best things about History America posters is the amount of variety you get to choose from. For example, here is a list of poster themes to choose from:
History of the American Soldier
History of the American Firefighter
History of the American Police Officer
History of the United States Marine
History of Woman in the United States Military
History of the United States Navy
A Salute to our American Heroes
History of the American Aviator
The History of Old Glory
History of the American Civil War
History of World War II
An Appeal to Heaven
We The People
Join Or Die
History of American Baseball
History of American Football
The “History of” posters shows the evolution of American institutions through the years with graphic illustrations and a detailed timeline near the bottom. Graphic image posters including classics like Join or die” is also a poster option.
