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. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a blank top area (typical of long daybills), where they would write play dates, and that was neatly trimmed off, causing the poster to measure 14 1/2" x 36". It also had minor wear on the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. After the poster was backed, it acquired some tiny brown dot stains near the bottom of the image, and a few in the top blank border. Learn More about condition grades
