IRISH ALDERMAN ('96 STAGE) IRISH ALDERMAN ('96 STAGE) stage poster OR search current auctions Auction History Result 9k046 IRISH ALDERMAN 21x29 stage poster 1896 art of dishonest politician between wife & mistress! Date Sold 8/25/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 21 1/4" x 29" [54 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) The Irish Alderman, the 1896 Thomas H. Davis & William T. Keogh political stage play production ("McSweeney is between two fires"; written by Scott Marble) starring John Kernell (as Alderman McSweeny), Sam Marion, Phil W. Peters, Ren Shields, Seymour Rice, Dave Marion, and Robert Delius. Note that this play was about a politician who was an "alderman" from Ireland, who wanted to become mayor. We found an image of a playbill from the play that has a disclaimer from the author, saying that while the alderman in the play is guilty of ballot box stuffing and other illegal acts, he knows that no real alderman would ever do such a thing! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It had a 15" horizontal tear in the lower left of the image, and a long slightly diagonal tear starting in the man's coat and going down to his pants leg. Someone put tape on the back of both of those long tears and also tape on the back of all the borders. Obviously, this poster can be restored, but bear in mind the cost of the restoration before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
