Overview

With the popularity of contemporary burlesque booming, here is a perfect look backwards at the art form as conveyed by its bold, sexy graphic design history.

Some are subtle as a fan dance, while others are saucy as twirling tassels, and they're all collected here—the finest, raunchiest, most teasing burlesque poster art, from the Follies Bergère of 1880 to the London Burlesque of 2008. More than 150 poster designs illustrate the history of bumping and grinding, flirting and subverting. All graphic designers eager to study the evolution of this specific art form will find this collection essential.
