Globe Collection and Press at MICA
The nation’s most iconic music-poster press kicked off our five-part limited-edition art collection. Founded in Baltimore 1929, Globe started out printing inexpensive posters for everyday people — so fairs, carnivals, boxing, racing, wrestling, big band. But it’s real claim to fame was in the 1950s and ‘60s with R&B and rock-and-roll posters for the likes of James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Ike and Tina Turner, and B.B. King.
