DO POSTERS POST?
Reading edition
Do posters post? although they sprawl In loud profusion at each stall; Gibson’s pretentious black-and-whites, Nankivell’s freaks and Bradley’s frights, And Rhead’s red maidens, lean and tall. Although we know each artist’s scrawl, The book they note we can’t recall; And though their wild effect delights, Do posters post? Their lines and forms our eyes enthrall, Their color schemes our tastes appall, The keen collector glibly cites Beardsley and all his satellites, They’re works of art, but after all, Do posters post? Carolyn Wells.
