We've seen some Victorian theatrical posters available elsewhere, but those sets seem all the same -- all 72 dpi, basically unorganized, and with all the original rips, tears and deep creases that make many of them unusable. In contrast, we've done many hours of careful restoration work to offer our theater posters in beautiful condition.
BURLESQUE, VAUDEVILLE & COMEDIES:
Over 750 posters of Victorian Edwardian era burlesque and vaudeville performers, showgirls, and posters for comedy plays and musicals
Over 750 posters of Victorian Edwardian era burlesque and vaudeville performers, showgirls, and posters for comedy plays and musicals
Over 400 posters for Victorian Edwardian magicians, illusionists, mind readers, hypnotists, novelty acts, circus performers, acrobats, aerialists, singers, marching bands, dancers & more
These are great fun to browse through (especially in our gorgeous image viewer format - it's so easy and pretty, and has slideshow, etc.). And I think they are truly an untapped image resource for altered art!
We also have most of these posters available as extra hi-res tiffs for use in media production, etc. Inquire at summertownsun@yahoo.com.
