Historical
Historical
Globe Poster Printing Corporation, based in East Baltimore, Md., has told the story of American music and entertainment through bright and iconic posters since 1929. They began printing posters for movie theaters, vaudeville acts, burlesque houses, and carnivals. The company became a source for performers announcing their tours especially R&B, soul, jazz, and rock performers as well as hip hop, funk and go-go acts. The printing company was run by the Cicero family for nearly 40 of its 81 years. In 2010 the business closed and the collection of posters, ephemera, and other materials were acquired by Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2011.
