Since 2005, in Prague, there has existed a storefront poster shop by the name of Terry Posters. The shop specializes in rare film and cinema posters from the vibrant period of 1950s and 60s Czech cinema, as well as important international posters from all periods of cinema history. Many are for sale, but the rarest and most historical are for viewing only.
Fortunately, the posters in this shop are also available online. In the last two years alone, Terry Posters has created a publicly accessible database with over 6,000 original, vintage posters from all periods of cinema. This is one of the best collections of international film posters I have ever seen.
The owners of Terry Posters also happen to manage the two biggest art cinemas in Prague, Aero and Světozor, and have frequent film festivals and vintage poster exhibitions. All of this is under the patronage of Union Film Company.
The name of the shop “Terry Posters” is connected with repeated visits of the famous director Terry Gilliam, a member of the legendary group Monty Python, in Aero cinema.
