Banksy Posters, The Different Functions of Posters
It was in the early 15th century when posters were first used by people. These artworks came into existence to replace the role of the Town Criers announcing everything from burials, goods, lost objects, convocations, and other important occasions. With the artistic mind of the Michel Papillon, these first posters were used to replace the Town Criers. Then, in 1628, Theophraste Renaudot made the first advertising posters.
