Date Sold 7/10/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 41 3/4" [70 x 106 cm]) (Learn More) Jesse James, the circa 1910s cowboy western stage play production ("The sensational Western life drama"; "The Missouri Outlaw"). Note that we have seen multiple posters that are likely from the same production. Some mention "W.I. Swain's Western Spectacular Production" and some do not. Also, some posters include art of a black African American couple. All of the posters have been printed by the Donaldson Litho Co of Newport, KY. It is certainly possible that there were multiple different productions (perhaps one even had an all-black cast). We have seen other similar posters to these in museum collections, and they have guessed at dates of "1890s" to "1920s", but our guess is that these are 1910s. If anyone knows more about any of this, 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 is one of a group of stage play and movie posters from the 1920s that were discovered in May of 2013. We auctioned most of them in June of 2013, but there were some posters that were not auctioned at that time (a few of them duplicates of ones we auctioned then), which are being auctioned now, each in their own separate auction. Each of the posters is unfolded, but all have varying degrees of damage around the edges (see our individual condition description of each). All can be professionally linenbacked and restored, but we wanted to offer them unrestored, both so that the bidders could see exactly what condition each poster is in, and also so that the high bidder of each poster could choose the restorer of their choice, plus decide how much restoration each poster should have! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. There is paper loss and tears scattered around the edges of the poster (primarily in the left of the top border, the right of the bottom border, and scattered down the right border), but fortunately, all that is missing is blank white paper and a small bit of the edges of the borders (see our image). There is a 9" tear near the middle of the right border, but no paper loss. After a pretty simple linenbacking, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
