On the list of things to do on holiday in Prague, along with the usual tourist attractions, was Terry Posters. Terry Posters sell original Czechoslovakian film posters, many of them vintage. It’s perfectly situated in Světozor Cinema.

When I was finished I had visual overload and my hands hurt from flicking through the racks. It was a joy. We bought five lovely ones from the 1970s. Terry Posters is also online.

After making a couple of pieces from my collection into wallpaper for my computer I thought it might be nice to make more and to share.

I’m a little fascinated by British wrestling posters at the moment. I think this one illustrates how fantastic they are.
