There are many ways used to help date a poster. One of them is by printer information. It could be a different logo, or different address, a different mark, or even a different way of writing.

The following are printers in the UK that we have in our database. The chart below each title gives the dates and addresses given on the posters. There is also a link into our database on each printer if you want to see the posters. This is an ongoing project so we hope to be adding a lot more.
