City Steam Printing Works made bold, flat-color posters in the late 1800s. Their Untitled poster uses thick black outlines and bright yellows to shout slogans in a single glance, no shading, no fuss. These everyday prints clamored from walls to sell everything from soap to spectacles. Tap Untitled to see how simple shapes and strong colors grabbed attention before the internet existed.
