Step-by-step explanation:

The first printed advertisement in English was posted in 1682. It was promoting a book titled "Printed firft at New-England: And Re-printed at London, and fold by Jofeph Poole, at the Blae Bal in the Long-Walk, by Chrifts Church Hofpital."

This early advertisement was a broadsheet, which was a large sheet of paper printed on one side and typically used for announcements or advertisements. It was later in the 19th century that the modern-day poster, with text added to lithographic images, became more prevalent.
