Beautiful Macabre

Suave skeletons, shocking social hygiene ads, and all manner of dark and eerie occult artworks! Over one hundred rare original posters are documented in the expanded hardcover edition of Beautiful Macabre: Rare Posters 1868-1981 with commentary from historian and museum director Thomas Negovan. This deluxe, limited edition hardcover book features full-page, full-color, high-resolution images captured directly from the original artworks in the Century Guild museum archive! A unique journey through over two decades of collecting, curating, and research, making this book a true permanent exhibition you can hold in your hands. While the internet is a magnificent repository of data, at Century Guild we still love curling up with books!  And many–if not most–of the images presented here are not available on the internet at all. Each image was captured from the original artwork, professionally photographed and meticulously color corrected, and printed for you to enjoy at the highest resolution possible.
