Date Sold 12/11/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked Stage Play Poster (measures 21 1/4" x 29" [54 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Blue Jeans, the 1890s stage play production ("Blue Jeans will never wear out"; "Written by Joseph Arthur author of 'The Still Alarm'") starring Robert C. Hilliard, George D. Chaplin, J.J. Wallace, Jacques Kruger, W.J. Wheeler, Alice Leigh, and Marian Mourdant Strickland. The play made its debut in 1890 in New York, and enjoyed considerable success around the United States and in revivals in the following decades. Because of this, we cannot be certain that the poster offered here is from the 1890 production, and it may be from a later production of the play (the Library of Congress dates some of the posters as 1899). Note that one of the posters for this play has one of the most classic melodrama images there is, which is of man on a table about to be cut in half by a sawmill blade! The caption under it reads "The Great Saw Mill Scene", and this may have been the first time it was used, or it could have been done prior to it. Even though this scene seems to be a classic movie scene, we have never seen a single movie poster that illustrates it! Also, a knowledgeable collector tells us that posters for this play can be seen in the background of Stanley Kubrick's 1955 film Killer's Kiss! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster's right blank border was trimmed off and it had small tears and tiny paper loss in the rest of the borders. It had irregular paper loss in the background to the left of the waist of the man standing on the chair and a tear running into the dress of the woman at right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A restorer did a pretty nice job of recreating the missing right border and also did some restoration to the other defects. You can clearly see signs of the restoration, but the poster will display well on the new owner's wall. Learn More about condition grades
