Auction History Result 5j0658 ROBINSON CRUSOE stage play English 3sh 1930s sexy close up of female hero by Friday & ship! Date Sold 11/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded English Three-Sheet (called a 6sh in England) Stage Play Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 85" [104 x 216 cm]) (Learn More) Robinson Crusoe, the circa 1930s English stage play production. There are two three-sheet posters (plus a double crown) for this (we assume they are all from the same production, although they have very different artwork; one features cool artwork of a very sexy female with a hunting rifle, and the other shows a female with a colorful bird, and both posters also feature stereotypical artwork of the island native Friday. Note that our consignor wants to make it very clear that he in no way condones artwork of this sort, and recognizes that it was done back at the time when this poster was produced, but certainly, we all hope we will never see this type of stereotype artwork again)! 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 three-sheet measures 41" x 85" [104 x 216 cm], and it was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was likely never used and has minor fold and border wear. Learn More about condition grades
