Artist: John Richardson Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Australian daybill! 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.

The poster had tears and areas of paper loss around the edges, with two stains in Negri's cheek below her eye, one of which has paper loss in the center of the stain. There were some small dot stains, creases, and scuffs scattered in the rest of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
