Auction History Result 4b035 ALADDIN stage play English double crown '30s stone litho of female lead w/lamp & treasure! Date Sold 1/12/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded English Double Crown Stage Play Poster (DC; measures 19 1/2" x 29 1/2" [50 x 75 cm]) (Learn More) Aladdin, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The six-sheet, British quad, and double-crown posters each feature different really cool artwork of a female Aladdin holding the magic lamp in a cave full of treasure, and the three-sheet has artwork of a female Aladdin rubbing the magic lamp with the genie coming out of it! 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 English double crown measures 19 1/2" x 29 1/2" [50 x 75 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good. There are a few tears and water stains at lower right, but given its age it is in pretty nice condition overall. Learn More about condition grades
