An early advertising yard long print c1917, featuring the famous movie star Mary Pickford. These advertising pieces were issued with artistic portraits and scenes on one side and sometimes printed advertisements and calendars on the other; this one is for the Pompeian Company, noted for creams, powders and makeup. Mary Pickford did several yard long ads over the years, and this 26" x 8 1/2" (frame 1/2" deep) appears to be in its original frame. It has the Pompeian advertising calendars for 1916-17 on the reverse, and the colours remain strong and vibrant. The pose is of Mary with a bird on her hand, with floral arrangements and the early full-length dress. This movie and advertising collectible is in very good original condition with no scrapes, losses or repairs other than some looseness and edge scrapes on the frame and a complete but intact separation to the paper along her chin (see image). This separation was due to the age of the paper, and it can readily be restored (all paper is intact and complete). All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted. We will remove the glass for shipping if requested. Surface shipping starts at $19 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.

A super display piece! This is a large 13" high lithographed tin made by the English firm Hudson Scott & Sons c1900. This tin has high relief foliate borders, center embossed cartouches of ladies against a hammered texture ground, and angular Arts and Crafts style handles, all with lithographed mahogany wood graining. It has the company mark, and this beauty is in excellent condition with only slight scrapes to the lithography, which remains mostly intact with its orginal shading and colours, but it has no lid, which we assume it did have originally. It will require a fairly large box, so surface shipping is $10 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
