An Original Vintage Folded Stage Play Broadside Poster (measures 14" x 41 1/2" [36 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Buckley's Minstrels ("and Burlesque Opera Group and Brass Band"; they are also known as "Buckley's Serenaders") were an American blackface minstrel group from 1840s to the 1860s. During the height of their popularity they performed regularly between tours at Buckley's Opera House, the Ethiopian Opera House and the American Opera House on Broadway. The only poster we have seen from this group is a 14" x 41 1/2" poster that bills them together with "25 first-class artistes". They are billed as "the largest and most complete minstrel company in the world" and the other 25 acts are billed as well. The whole production was "under the immediate personal supervision of G. Swaine Buckley, the Admirable Crichton of Ethiopian Minstrelsy and the most versatile artist living". If anyone knows more about this poster or 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 this poster is undated, but we know that this group performed from the 1840s to the 1860s, and therefore, it seems incredibly likely that this poster IS from the 1860s at the latest! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair. There are many creases scattered throughout the poster, with tiny tears, smudges, and stains around the edges, with some paper loss in the bottom left corner. There is much tape scattered on the back of the poster. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
