Beginning in the early 1980s with the availability of VCRs, TVs, and generators, a mobile movie industry boomed in Ghana. Entrepreneurs commissioned local artists to paint eye-catching and colorful advertising for the films. This artistic movement proliferated until the early 1990s when these unique and creative works were replaced by mass produced printed posters.

Good to fair condition - each with creasing, rubbing, and some pigment loss.
