Apologies in advance for thread necromancy. I discovered a book relevant to this thread I thought I had sold- it was hidden behind a prominent edge on my bookcase at work. From 'Megg's History of Graphic Design', 4th edition, page 89:

Technically speaking, a broadside is a single leaf of paper printed on one side only. When both sides are printed, the page is frequently called a broadsheet; however these terms are often used interchangeably. This ephemeral form of graphic communications became a major means of information dissemination from the invention of printing until the middle of the nineteenth century. Content ranged from announcements of deformed births to portraits of secular and religious leaders. Festivals and fairs were advertised, and the sale of lottery tickets and indulgences was announced. Political causes and religious beliefs were expounded, and invasions and disasters were proclaimed.

The book shows this image, 1551:

It also has some images of commemorative pilgrimage prints people could buy, as early as 1423, although I wouldn't call them posters, as they would be able to fit inside a book cover.

I think it would be appropriate to have 'posters' put up in prominent places, depicting priests of Sigmar and Skaven outbreaks and such.

Really neat to know! Thanks!

That must be one of Thunderchicken's forefathers.

Thanks, Mathias!
