An Original Vintage Unfolded English Double Crown Stage Play Poster (DC; measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (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. Condition: fine. The poster is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
