Politics have been around a long time, and so have posters. Back in the days of Shakespeare, they were mostly used to advertise plays and dramas. The first political posters came on the scene around the time of World War I, and by World War II they had become a very popular medium for political statements and campaign slogans.

Ironically, this year’s election posters look very much like those from the past — only the names are different. This vintage Teddy Roosevelt poster would fit right in with the 2008 campaign posters for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain.

Posters play a part in keeping history alive—visually, at least—and some of them are extremely collectible. In his captivating print “The Presidents,” Carl Braude has painted the image of every President from George Washington to George Bush. Canvases of this painting sell for hundreds of dollars, but you can get a great quality digital print from posters.com for a lot less. And you can add a custom mat and frame and have it shipped right to your door.

This presidential election year is a great time to take a nostalgic look at individual pictures and portraits of our nation’s Presidents, preserved on film and canvas by skilled photographers and painters. Through the years, the covers of TIME magazine and others have also provided us with moving and dramatic images that remind us of memorable moments and unforgettable people.

So if you’re in the mood for some posters for your politics or some politics on your posters, remember: It doesn’t matter if you’re Democrat or Republican or Independent or if your thing is satire or sarcasm, politics or propaganda, nostalgia or humor.
