Auction History Result 8r007 CINDERELLA stage play English 3sh '30s beautiful stone litho close up art! Date Sold 3/1/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded English Three-Sheet Stage Play Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 85" [104 x 216 cm]) (Learn More) Cinderella, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The quad poster features cool artwork of a beautiful Cinderella next to her ugly stepmother and stepsister and the three-sheet has artwork of Cinderella and the Prince! A collector from England tells us he believes that this poster (and the other English stage play posters from other classic fairy tales) were used for local Christmas pantomimes (that were very professional productions) that were held all over England for many years. Most of the posters were produced by Taylors of Wombwell from 1929 to the late 1930s (but it seems likely that the posters we are auctioning date from the late 1930s). It was quite common in those pantomimes for women to play boys' roles, and for men to play the roles of unlikeable women (like witches and mean old ladies!). If anyone knows more about this play or this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this English three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Also note this three-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with three-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded three-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 13" x 30", so they cost more to send than regularly folded three-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Condition: very good to fine. The poster appears to have never been used and other than some minor fold and border wear is in very nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
