MovieGoods has a great summary of the history of vintage movie posters:
Movie Poster Art – A Brief History
“Movie Poster Art – Distribution prior to 1940
Many of what has been argued are some of the greatest films ever made were produced in the 1930′s, including ‘King Kong’, ‘Citizen Kane’, ‘Gone With the Wind’ and the ‘Wizard of Oz’. Worldwide the depression was ending and more and more folks flocked to movie theatres to enjoy a little escape.
The studios were very prolific in this time period, subsequently the various movie exhibitors across North America had a hard time keeping up with the advertising materials required to advertise each film. At the time many of the exhibitors had to deal individually with each studio for their needs.
Recognizing the inefficiencies associated with this process, in 1939 the studios struck a relationship with a company called the National Screen Service (NSS). The NSS had been producing and distributing movie trailers to exhibitors for twenty years and had an established distribution infrastructure. Under contract to almost all the studios, the company became the defacto printer and distributor of all movie poster advertising and related products”
