Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this Australian daybill, and the last one was 9 years ago. The buyer of one of those examples had the poster linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned! Note that this is one of an amazing collection of 62 linenbacked Australian daybills that all have great art from Richardson Studio (or John Richardson, before he became "Richardson Studio"!), which many collectors feel have the best art and design of any Australian daybills, and are highly sought after by collectors. These were accumulated by a very dedicated collector over many years, and they are now being all offered at once (in 62 separate auctions), so this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or many of these daybills, many of which rarely are offered for sale or at auction. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss in the top blank corners, with stains in the upper left blank border. It had paper loss in the bottom right corner, slightly extending into the bottom of the Paramount logo. It had two tears in the lower left of the left border, slightly extending into the background. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
