About the Item
Original THE MIKADO, or the Town of Titipu vintage poster. Size: 20" x 30"; original early theater poster. Acid-free, archival linen backed; ready to frame. Excellent condition. The poster features a stylized illustration of a woman in traditional Japanese attire, with a serene expression and flowers in her hair.
Original, linen-backed lithograph of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado or, The Town of Titipu. Museum linen backed and in great condition. Lithograph in colors, printed by Stafford & Co. Ltd., Netherfield, Nottingham and London, England.
Gilbert and Sullivan refer to the Victorian-era theatrical partnership of the librettist W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) and the composer Arthur Sullivan (1842–1900). Gilbert, who wrote the words, created fanciful 'topsy-turvy' worlds for these operas where each absurdity is taken to its logical conclusion. Sullivan created the music for these operas.
"The Mikado" is a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, first performed in 1885. Set in Japan, it satirizes British politics and society through its whimsical characters and humorous plot. The vintage poster you mentioned typically features vibrant colors and stylized artwork, often depicting a character from the opera, such as Yum-Yum, known for her beauty and charm.
"The Mikado" is one of the most frequently performed works in the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire and has been adapted into numerous productions worldwide.
This is an Original Vintage Theater Poster; it is not a reproduction.
