RED RIDING HOOD ('30s) RED RIDING HOOD ('30s) English 3sh OR search current auctions Auction History Result 5w0026 RED RIDING HOOD stage play English 3sh 1930s stone litho of Red w/wolf trailing behind! Date Sold 9/17/2020 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 40" x 89" [102 x 226 cm]) (Learn More) Red Riding Hood, the circa 1930s English stage play production. The posters feature really cool artwork (the three-sheet and double crown have an image of a far sexier Red Riding Hood than was in any version of the fairy tale I know, and the six-sheet has a great image of Red Riding Hood visiting her grandmother who is actually the wolf; I would be quite surprised if she was fooled into thinking it was actually her grandmother!)! 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 is different from the stage play English three-sheet we have been consigned in the past on a number of occasions. On the other ones we were consigned, the image of Red Riding Hood is a sexy young lady (as noted in our description above), but THIS poster has a much more prim and proper Red Riding Hood! Also note that this English three-sheet measures 40" x 89" [102 x 226 cm], and it was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There are a number of tears in some of the folds. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
