Auction History Result 7d0090 LOT OF 3 FOLDED RED RIDING HOOD STAGE PLAY ENGLISH SIX-SHEETS 1930s art with Big Bad Wolf! Date Sold 9/1/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 3 folded English six-sheets from Red Riding Hood, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The posters feature really cool artwork (the three-sheet and double crown have an image of a far sexier Red Riding Hood than was in any version of the fairy tale I know, and the six-sheet has a great image of Red Riding Hood visiting her grandmother who is actually the wolf; I would be quite surprised if she was fooled into thinking it was actually her grandmother!)! 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. IMPORTANT! The lot contains multiple examples of the same poster, so we have only pictured one, but the winner of this auction receives all of them! Measurements: 81" x 81"Condition: very good to fine. We have only pictured one of the posters, but all of them are in similar condition. See the one that we pictured to get a sense of the condition of all the posters.
