The Smithsonian Institution has showcased 126 historical and contemporary posters and it’s the last weekend to go have a look.

Located in Nashville, Tennessee and one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America, Hatch has been creating show posters and advertisements capturing the art and culture of the American South since 1873. The original antique wood type-face and imagery used to promote the likes of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams are still being used to turn out prints today.
