NEW SMITHSONIAN TRAVELING EXHIBITION CELEBRATES AMERICAN GRAPHIC ART TRADITION OF HATCH SHOW PRINT

Posted: 7/10/2008

“Adverting without posters is like fishing without worms.” —The Hatch Brothers

This sentiment was certainly true in 1879 when brothers Herbert H. and Charles R. Hatch opened Hatch Show Print, a printing shop in Nashville, Tenn. Their handcrafted posters screamed slogans such as “More Power, More Pep,” “So Many Girls You Can’t Count Them All” and “Always Clean, Always Good.” Almost 130 years later, Hatch posters hold their own as a stirring and refreshingly tactile contrast to the digital advertising world. The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in partnership with the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum celebrates this time-honored graphic art tradition.
