The Geneva Auto Show during the 1920s and 1930s -- Poster Stamps








Hi folks -- I am always intrigued by the art that surrounds automobility during the 20th century. And "Cinderella" stamps, or poster stamps, reveal in remarkable detail the way cars and culture come together in a time period. These types of stamps often appear on Ebay, and I wonder just how rare they are, particularly since they go for $6 or so a piece.
Who knows anything about this topic? Who were the artists/designers? What do these posters tell us about European sensibilities and the automobile before WWII? How many of these types exist and how many were printed and survive?
