Auction History Result n001 A TEXAS RANGER linen stage play poster c1905 Date Sold 9/26/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked Special Stage Play Poster (measures 28" x 41") (Learn More) A Texas Ranger, the circa 1905 stage play production ("The Greatest Show of the Plains") that likely toured many cities. The play apparently included many scenes of a Texas Ranger who saved settlers from Native American Indians. This play may have been performed at the turn of the century, or it could have been performed at any point through the late 1910s. The poster for this play was printed by "The National PTG.ENG" of New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, and unfortunately, the poster is not dated, and there is no other writing on the poster to indicate when or where it was made, and how it was used. If anyone knows more about this show 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. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was folded down the middle and there was tape on the back of that foldline. There were some other partial vertical creases, and some small horizontal creases scattered through the image, as though the poster was roughly handled while it was rolled. The tape from the back was removed, and there was slight paper loss in the vertical foldline. The poster was well linenbacked, but the restorer did not attempt to make the poster "look perfect", but mostly did just touch up in the vertical foldline and around the edges of the poster, where there were many creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Learn More about condition grades
