Description

Relish in the 1930s with this captivating theatre poster, a brilliant advertisement for Henry Caspele's "Europa Follies" performing at the Empire Theatre in Antwerp, Belgium. This mesmerizing performance promised a spectacular blend of ballet, humor, satire, and music that was sure to enchant the audience for hours on end.

In its core, an elegant woman gracefully twirls in a golden dress, encircled by a procession of black and white political figures adorning her skirt's hem. With grace, she raises a globe overhead, evoking a profound sense of grandeur and global significance.

The poster's artwork, masterfully designed by Meulemans, is a visual marvel. At its heart, a brilliant woman twirls her golden dress, encircled by a procession of black and white political figures adorning her hem. As she gracefully hoists a globe above her head, a sense of poetic grandeur is evoked. The background transitions from an aged-toned tan to a resplendent gold in the lower half, adding to the poster's rich and opulent aesthetic.

Infuse your space with the perfect touch of vintage with this 1930s gem.

Grading System

We us a widely recognized 6 scale system to grade our posters.

  • MINT - A poster in mint condition looks like it just came off of the press. It will have no blemishes or defects of any kind. It can be folded or rolled, depending on the original packing method (most movie posters were sent folded).
  • NEAR MINT - A poster in near mint condition may have minor imperfections in the border only. The artwork is in excellent condition with no blemishes whatsoever.
  • VERY GOOD - A poster in very good condition may have blemishes in the border and up to approximately one inch of the poster's artwork. There may be small tears in the artwork along the fold lines only. It may also have minor fading. In general, a poster in very good condition may show some wear and often will project a subtle classic vintage vibe without detracting from the artwork.
  • GOOD - A poster in good condition may have tears or small holes that measure no larger than a quarter on the outer edges of the poster's artwork. Pieces of the border may be torn or missing or have holes; there may be mild bleed-through in the outer area of the artwork; there may be mild fading. In general, a poster in good condition will have minor blemishes around the border and into the outer edges of the artwork. The major area of the artwork will be clear of any blemishes. Some people actually prefer this type of poster, which definitely shows some age and character.
  • FAIR - A poster in fair condition may have major blemishes that directly affect the artwork of the poster. The poster is recognizable and the artwork is primarily intact. A poster in fair condition can benefit from professional restoration.
  • POOR - Posters in poor condition will have serious blemishes or tears or in such poor shape that even the slightest handling might add to the damage. In many cases, a poster in this condition should be professionally restored.
