Artist: Richardson Studio
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.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases and scuffs along the folds, with a few small tears and tiny areas of paper loss. It had some small paper loss in parts of the right blank border and in the center of the top blank area, where there was also play dates. There were scuffs in the solid blue areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
