THE TELEPHONE STORY POSTER

Description

THE TELEPHONE STORY
It was 45 years ago when my Dad took me to a open house at the phone company.  What an experience to walk into  that massive Central Office and hearing all those banks of stepper switches clicking away.  It was there that I was given  the coolest poster: "The Telephone Story".  It hung on my bedroom wall till I went to college.  I still have the original  poster but it's a little tattered around the edges after all these years!
After years of planning and learning how to make posters, I have finally created my own version of "The Telephone Story". This poster is an enhanced recreation of the original posters produced by Western Electric in 1965, 1967 and 1976.  I've  expanded the number of phones from 30 to 50, added model numbers and some additional detail (where I could fit it in). The extra phone models I included represented what I thought were significant or interesting design milestones and helped  make this poster an even better tribute to the amazing company: "Western Electric".
The poster is printed using a leading edge stochastic screen process on heavy 100# Gloss Cover paper with a UV coating.  The  Stochastic printing process, also called frequency modulation (FM) screening, uses small (10, 20 or 25 Micron), same size dots  in a random pattern and varies the density of the dot to create an image that is closer to continuous tone.
I think you will  be impressed with the results. -Rick-
The poster measures 16" (40.6cm) by 24" (61cm) and will be shipped in a rugged 3"x18" Kraft Mailing tube.
