An Original Vintage Unfolded English Double Crown Stage Play Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More)

The Forty Thieves, the 1900s English stage play production. Note that this poster features cool artwork of an Arabian female (possibly a female Ali Baba?), and is similar to 1930s English stage play posters we have sold which are also based on classic tales. Those posters were used for local Christmas pantomimes (that were very professional productions) that were held all over England for many years. In those pantomimes, it was common for women to play boys' roles, and for men to play the roles of unlikable women (like witches and mean old ladies!). Therefore, it seems quite possible that this poster is from a much earlier pantomime, but also with a woman playing the lead role. 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.

Condition: good to very good. There are some creases, patches of paper loss and tears of varying lengths (approximately 2 1/2" or less) around the edges of the poster. The tears have been repaired with restoration tape from the back. There is a tear in the upper edge that extends into the black border and title area, but the other edge tears/paper loss effect only the blank borders of the poster. There is a 3" scuff at center in the art of the woman, but overall the poster's defects are mostly around the borders and it is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
