France, Henry Wilcoxon, Sidney Toler, Stanley Ridges, Francis McDonald, and William Haade NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this Australian daybill, and the last one was 10 years ago. The buyer one of those examples has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! 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 scuffs in the right of the top horizontal fold and a few tears scattered in the image. There were some small tears and tiny paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
