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: fair to good. The poster was never folded. There is paper loss around the edges. There are many 1-2" tears in the borders. There is a long tear in the center of the poster starting near the middle and going down to the bottom border. There is a 10" tear near the center of the top border. The poster is fragile. But in spite of all this, there is almost no actual image loss, so after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look great, and it will have little paint restoration.
