    Description

    NOT A REPRODUCTION.
    This is a 100+ year old carnival poster from the early 20th Century.  I purchased this many years ago from a dealer in London. Printed in France, and advertising Miss Quincy, a famous American high diver who toured all over the world in the 1910s and 1920s.  This is a very rare example of early 20th Century sideshow advertising.
    The paper has age-related wear, with watermarks on the right-hand side, some paper loss at left, etc, but it is in good condition overall, and displays very well. The paper has darkened over time, but the colors are still nice. It is archivally mounted to a linen backing to provide structural support.  Poster size is approximately 15 1/2"H x 23"W.  Overall dimensions including the frame are approximately 19"H x 27"W.  It is archivally framed with pH neutral materials, and UV filtering acrylic glazing in order to preserve it. The frame is handmade of poplar, with a distressed black finish.
    I have tried to show the overall condition as best as possible, so please look closely at my photos for details, and please let me know if you have any questions.
    Shipping via UPS Ground is to the LOWER 48 ONLY (sorry AK and HI).
