I'm looking for posters of famous classical music composers
(specifically Brahms and Rachmaninov, but I'd also be interested in
others EXCEPT Mozart) or scientists (say, Feynman...but NOT Einstein).

They can be drawings/paintings or photographs, portrait style. I'm not
looking for a collage.

For example, poster-sized reproductions of the work seen on cd inserts
would be nice.

I prefer to buy from within the U.S., but foreign sources are ok if
they are willing to ship to the U.S.

Thanks!

Hello.

Rachmaninoff posters aren't very easy to come by, but there is an
original 1934 promotional ad for Rachmaninoff for sale on eBay. It's
10.5"x14" and, according to the description, suitable for framing, but
the auction ends very soon (40 minutes).

Thank you for the info. The Apple "Think Different" posters are just
what I had in mind, and I was unaware of their existence.

I was hoping for a better selection for composers though. I did try
searching myself and found some of the same ones that you have listed.
Would it be possible to look a bit longer for Rachmaninoff and Brahms?

What about poster-sized blowups of CD inserts? One reason I think that
these posters must be "out there" somewhere is because they are
relatively common on CD inserts...

Thanks.

Hi.

The (rather slow-loading) web page of Musictreasures.com has many
composer posters and prints, including several of Brahms:

In hopes that they'll be able to provide some leads on Rachmaninoff
posters, I've contacted some of his fans via these links, courtesy of
Olivier's Rachmaninov page:
http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Strasse/6145/rachlinks.html

I'll let you know if I get any response.

Hi. 

If you like the "Think Different" posters, another one features DNA
researcher James Watson pondering a double-helix. It's available for
$45 at the Applelinks store:

Hi again.

I don't know if you'd be interested but an eBay seller is offering a
vintage Steinway ad featuring Rachmaninov:
