The History of Cinema from the Origins to the Present
Description:...

A collection of posters featuring movies which have helped shape the history of world cinema. • A great collection of not only the posters of the blockbusters or classics movies of Hollywood Golden Era, but also great European, Latin American and Asian movies which changed film-making history.
