The Graphic Century reveals the symbiotic relationship that exists between graphic design and art. Structured chronologically, the publication presents a survey of posters dating back to 1903. Although they are brought together from the archives of just one institution - the Whitechapel Gallery - they are emblematic of wider ideological, technical and aesthetic tendencies. Edited and introduced by Hannah Vaughan, The Graphic Century surveys the developments in visual communication since the Gallery's launch.
