Tribes Printing Works
Tribes Printing Works is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This anonymous collective cranked out bold posters for circuses and vaudeville shows in early 1900s New York, stacking type and images like a neon sandwich. They never signed their work, just slammed ink onto paper and let the crowd guess who did it. You can still spot their hand in the thick black frames and cheery lettering over at the Library of Congress, where a stack of their untitled 1913 prints waits to be opened like a time capsule.
