Auction History Result 1r064 MOTHER GOOSE stage play English double crown '30s stone litho art of mom holding broom! Date Sold 4/19/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded English Double Crown Stage Play Poster (DC; measures 19 3/4" x 29 1/2" [50 x 75 cm]) (Learn More) Mother Goose, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The one-sheet poster features really cool artwork of Mother Goose showing a golden egg to a little boy, while a clothed goose looks on, and the three-sheet and double crown feature completely different art, but also really cool image of Mother Goose holding a broom while riding a huge flying goose. 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 3/4" x 29 1/2" [50 x 75 cm], but it does not appear to be trimmed. Condition: fine. The poster is in very nice condition!
