Date Sold 8/25/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Stage Play Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 25 3/4" [51 x 65 cm]) (Learn More) Atkinson's Aphrodite Co, the circa 1880s stage poster ("The Latest Laughing Sensation") advertising Charles Atkinson's traveling comedy theater troupe, starring Lillie Bate as Aphrodite, and featuring comical art of a group of people shocked by a statue of Aphrodite that is coming to life. If anyone knows more about 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 poster has been trimmed and it now measures 20 1/4" x 25 3/4" [51 x 65 cm]. 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. Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: good. It appears that each of the borders were slightly trimmed. The poster was folded once in each direction. Someone put paper tape on the back of both folds and all the borders. There was a snipe glued to the bottom of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
