Where did I read about this site? It is amazing.
Terry Posters is a site of 7500 posters from the Terry Posters' collection, originating in Czechoslovakia from 1930-1989. All the posters are original prints-- no copies or reprints. The graphic history here is so interesting you'll find yourself browsing for hours. What a great visual resource.

Off to do some browsing...
thanks for the awesome link:)
ooooh, I think you might have got the link from GrainEdit:)
Ah ha! Thanks-- yes, via Grain Edit, that incredible site . . .
Great posters! I love them.
well, the first one is Polish ;)
Sshhh..... it's my secret site; I've been going there for years.
It is actually called "Terryho ponozky" -- Terry'y Socks.
I'm still waiting for an explanation, but it is a Monty Python thing, so it may not make much sense.
The Terry in "Terry's Socks" is Terry Gilliam, of Monty Python fame.
And just a correction -- not all the posters are Czech, although the store and site both are. For example, the first poster you show is actually Polish.
The last one might be Polish too. I nevere know since sometimes all our Slovakian based languages are very similar. :)
