Fresh from a Local Estate.....

RARE BROADWAY POSTER OF THE THREE PENNY OPERA WHICH I BELIEVE ORIGINALLY WAS IN GERMANY IN APROX. 1933 AND PREFORMED MANY TIMES IN THE USA..

THIS POSTER I BELIEVE IS FROM THE PERFORMANCE THAT RAN OFF BROADWAY AT THE THEATER DE LYS FROM 1954 - 1961... I THINK THIS MAY BE FROM THAT ERA FOR THE PRODUCTION... WHAT SEEMS TO MAKE THIS ONE DIFFERENT THAN THE MORE RECENT REPRODUCTION PRINTS IS THIS ONE HAS THE SIGNED NAME OF DAVID MARTIN STONE WHO WAS THE POSTER, PROGRAM AND ADVERTISING ARTIST. IT IS ALSO NUMBERED 358/450.

THE SIGNATURE AND NUMER IS ON THE LOWER LEFT AND  I BELIEVE HE PASSED AWAY IN 1992.

THIS PEICE IS PRETTY LARGE WITH THE POSTER MEASURING APPROX. 24" WIDE AND 32" HIGH THE POSTER IS A PRINT BUT I'M NOT SURE IF ITS WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LITHOGRAPH OR NOT . THE POSTER IS FRAMED AND UNDER GLASS BUT THE FRAME IS BLACK AND HAS TAPE ON IT IN AREAS

THE PAPER ON BACKSIDE LOOKS QUITE AGED.

I KNOW THIS OPERA WAS PREFORMED IN NEW YORK WHERE THEATER DE LYS IS LOCATED BUT HAVE KNOW IDEA WHICH LOCATION MAY HAVE FRAMED THE POSTER... THE POSTER ITS SELF HAS A BACKGROUND OF A MANILLA LOOKING COLOR AND ALL THE PRINT IS IN BLACK.

THE CONDITION TO ME REALLY LOOKS VERY GOOD  AND DOES SHOW SOME DISCOLORATUON AT THE BOTTOM.

PLEASE SEE ALL.PICTURES AND ZOOM IN AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.

SELLING AS IS AS SEEN WITH NO RETURNS.

THANKS FOR LOOKING.
