vintage sports illustrations that characterize this art category.
Sports photography is a popular medium for these
vintage sports posters. These images display important places and events from history.
Some of these images even depict the humble beginnings of certain sports, as seen in the vintage sports photograph, 'Free Golf'. However, these vintage prints don't only depict the actual playing of a sport but also encompass famous areas where sports are played, as illustrated by 'Yankee Boys' by Bettmann-Corbis.
Another popular aspect of these works are vintage magazine covers. These images were used for a variety of vintage magazines, including such famous serial magazines as 'Sports Afield'. These vintage sports posters have the most variety out of any of the vintage prints available in this art category.

Although many vintage sports posters are illustrations, this art category differs from others in that not all of the works are pop art images.
