An Original Vintage Folded British Quad Stage Play Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Jack and the Beanstalk, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The quad poster features cool artwork of a female Jack climbing a vine with an angry giant in the background and the three-sheet has artwork of a female Jack holding an axe by the stump of the beanstalk! 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 poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. The poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
