First - thank you!! I was not aware of these posters. The comparisons that came to mind during the discussion with regard to popular art forms in history are the Japanese woodblock, French posters of the 19th century ( Toulouse-Lautrec , Steinlen etc) and the cartoons of Daumier. I am not sure how apt, but this came to mind. "Delicious" these are- a word I reserve not only for food, but for art.
