Posters have been used to advertise movies, plays, products and even used to spread messages during times of war. According to All Art, the poster as we know it was created in the latter half of the 1800s by artists like Jules Cheret and Bal Valentino. Certain posters can be very valuable if they have been stored properly. Posters exposed to sunlight, dust, pests and other elements become irreversibly damaged and thus lose their value as collectibles.
