Billboard Painters Size:16" x 20" To dedicate the new constructionBefore billboards were produced on vinyl panels and unrolled at their intended sites, they were an art form created on the spot by sign painters. Posters like this one for the movie "Silver Streak" were created as small works of art, then taken to the site, where they were divided into small squares matching a larger grid. Painters reproduced the work a square at a time.
