Artist: Richardson Studio
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this Australian daybill, and the last one was 8 years ago!

Note that this is one of an amazing collection of 62 linenbacked Australian daybills that all have great art from Richardson Studio (or John Richardson, before he became "Richardson Studio"!), which many collectors feel have the best art and design of any Australian daybills, and are highly sought after by collectors. These were accumulated by a very dedicated collector over many years, and they are now being all offered at once (in 62 separate auctions), so this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or many of these daybills, many of which rarely are offered for sale or at auction.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had pretty minor fold wear and a few creases scattered in the image, with minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
