For your consideration are two rather interesting items. These two items are marqee tops for a mutoscopea, used in penny arcades to look at photographs from the 1906 SF earthquake. The are hand drawn posters on heavy board each with a photograph of the earthquake attached. One is out of the frame and one is framed. The unframed piece is 20 x 14 with many condition issues including soiling, discoloration, fading/toning, margin wear etc. It is, at best to be considered in fair condition. The framed piece is 23.5 x 15.5 in a period frame with trim that is blue that matches the poster. The photo in the frame is pretty good, but glued down for sure. The bold blue writing is on the poster that the photograph is glued to. The poster in this piece is very good. Really quite a interesting combination of photographic history, Americana, side show, and folk art. These seem to be one of kind pieces. 95 % of the items I sell are pre-owned, vintage, or antique. Every item I sell will have some signs of wear. The combination of photos and descriptions are my best effort to communicate the beauty, condition, and any defects.
