Auction History Result k056 DICK WHITTINGTON stage play English Forty by Sixty poster '30s cool! Date Sold 2/28/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded English Thirty by Forty Stage Play Poster (measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) Dick Whittington, the circa 1930s English stage play production. This poster features really cool artwork of a gaily dressed girl and a happy smiling black cat! 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: This English forty by 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 forty by sixties folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded forty by sixties need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 12" x 32" x 1" high, so they cost more to send than regularly folded forty by sixties, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Condition: fine. The poster was clearly never used and is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
