Generate 5 era-specific poster prompts:

**1. Authentic Period Style**
- Exact visual language of the chosen era
- Period-correct typography (specify font families)
- Historical printing technique simulation (lithograph, screenprint, letterpress)
- Color palette matching era limitations (limited palette, specific ink types)
- Composition rules of the period

**2. Modern Subject in Vintage Style**
- Contemporary topic rendered in historical aesthetic
- Playful anachronism that creates visual interest
- Period techniques applied to modern content
- Humor or commentary through the style contrast

**3. Minimal / Reduced Version**
- Same era, stripped to essential elements
- 2-3 colors maximum
- Bold shapes and negative space
- Works at small size (postcard) and large (billboard)
- Silkscreen-printable design

**4. Full Illustrated Version**
- Detailed, hand-illustrated feel
- Multiple figures or elements in complex composition
- Border and frame design matching era
- Text integration (title, date, location, credits)
- Museum poster quality

**5. Series / Collection (3 matching posters)**
- Same subject, 3 variations
- Consistent size, layout grid, and typography
- Different color schemes or visual focus
- Work individually and as a triptych
- Collector-worthy cohesion

For each prompt: include era-specific art keywords, printing technique terms, typography style names, and color palette descriptions. Add negative prompts to avoid modern design elements that break the period illusion.
