A Paperbacked Special Poster (measures 19" x 26" [48 x 66 cm]) (Learn More) Murdock Bros. Comedians, the circa 1910s poster promoting a traveling vaudeville comedy show with black African American performers. Note that we cannot find much information regarding the show, but we have seen newspaper advertisements announcing that they traveled by rail in their own private Pullman car, and performed "High Class Vaudeville and Farce Comedy". If anyone knows more about this group, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Finally, note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

It had no blank borders, and it looks like it might have once had them, and that they were trimmed off, but we don't know, because we have never seen another example. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
