This is an original "Dante" 3-sheet stone lithograph from my private collection of Magic posters. This poster titled, "World's Greatest Wonder Spectacle" is from 1938 and is a striking three color combination in red, black, and white. It measures approximately 41" x 78". Dante posters in general are very scarce, his 3-sheets are even more rare!
As you can see from the pictures I have had this poster completely restored to it's original condition. When I found this poster it had been poorly backed onto a low quality type of linen. I had the entire poster removed, re-backed onto archival paper, then re-mounted onto canvas where the restoration process began. The poster is now in excellent condition and hangs in my Los Angeles home.
Magic PostersThe Golden Age of Magic (1875-1930) generated thousands of colorful posters…
Thank you guys, much appreciation.
Great restoration! A gem!
Thanks Chris, that was done by "Poster Mountain" who I do NOT use anymore due to their extorted rates! I am now shipping my posters out of state for a FRACTION of what they charge. But yes, this is a GREAT restoration job with the exception of me having to remind them that they forgot to color in a specific section they worked on. Thanks for the compliment Chris, it is always appreciated.
