CHAU1506 This 8" x 5" souvenir is of antique origin but I do not know if it is from 1827 - The owners file notes indicate this reproduced later but is still very early if it is recreating the 1827 handbill - I suspect early 1900s but has all the character of the 1827 original of this Maypole Village Dancing play. Small fault to lower area and slight tear to left area (again very small) - darkening to reverse - graded very good plus overall
This forms part of a very large collection of signed photographs, programmes, tickets, and ephemera collected by 'Sue', a theatre and music fan, that had remained in her family and secured from an extended family member, whose husband volunteered for a theatre in Nottingham, she collected all the signatures personally, and many of the programmes contain ticket stubs from the performance as well as signed programmes dedicated to her, photographs and numerous letters written to her and her husband. Please view her entire collection listed at my store.
