Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Australian daybill, and that was 6 years ago! The buyer of that poster has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has discoloration in the center lower blank border and at upper center. There is some slight discoloration on back of the right half and along portions of the lower horizontal fold, but they are not as noticeable on the front. The poster was once folded horizontally many times, and there are many horizontal folds scattered in the poster. It has some tears around the edges, with tiny paper loss in the right of the top border. There are some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. It is otherwise "all there" and after linenbacking with some proper restoration (at which time it is likely that many or most of the stains can be removed through chemical means) it would display quite well.
