Letterpress posters – Globe and Hatch

Globe Poster Printing Corp. was a Baltimore letterpress poster company that printed a large selection of concert posters. The company went out of business but their equipment is still operational. It’s at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. They are still making posters which are available here. They also made posters for the New York Film Festival with a design by John Waters and the Stax ’68 box set.
