An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Show Poster (measures 28" x 42 1/2" [71 x 108 cm]) (Learn More)

Sugarfoot Sam From Alabam, the circa 1920s black African American stage play poster. Note that this poster has no title on it, but we found a different poster on the Internet which had a very similar image and had the above title printed on it, so we think it highly likely that it was printed to be used to advertise this show. Note that this apparently was kept in production for decades as a traveling minstrel-like show, because we have seen references on the Internet to jazz musicians breaking into the business by performing in versions of this show as late as the 1950s! If anyone knows more about this poster or this show, 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 recently discovered stage play and movie posters from the 1920s, 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: very good. The poster was never folded. There are a few tears around the edges. The poster can be displayed just as it is, or it would be a very simple linenbacking job that would require no restoration.
