Honestly wish I had seen this exhibition. Heyman has one a wonderful job in the book surveying American Poster art. The big names are present, and many genre's, each of which in years since have seen shows dedicated to them (ie. New Deal posters, WWII, circus). The book has great color reproductions, and the preceeding essays, sidebar notations and glossary biographies provide plenty of context to the work.
