For more than 80 years, Globe posters brightened city street corners and telephone poles, country crossroads and union halls, shouting the names of musicians, movies and magicians, and dates for circus shows, carnivals and auto races. When Globe Poster Printing Corp. closed its doors in 2011, MICA stepped in to preserve Globe’s archive and to ensure the Globe story didn’t end. Sixteen truckloads of posters, wood type, printing blocks, sketches, and other tools of the trade wound through Baltimore’s streets to a new home, kicking off another era for Globe.
