RED RIDING HOOD ('30s) RED RIDING HOOD ('30s) English 6sh OR search current auctions Auction History Result k048 RED RIDING HOOD stage play English six-sheet movie poster '30s cool! Date Sold 2/28/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical English Six-Sheet Movie Poster (measure 78 1/2" x 89") (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: This English six-sheet was printed in 6 sections. This six-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with six-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded six-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 12" x 32" x 1" high, so they cost more to send than regularly folded six-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Condition: very good to fine. There are tears and darkening on the back of the foldline that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded. It is the vertical foldline in the lower right of the image. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
