About the Item

A very large vintage Lyceum Don Quixote framed advertising poster after Sir William Nicholson and James Pryde. Featuring horse back / equestrian theme of Don Quixote with jousting pole against the backdrop of a windmill. This poster advertises the one-act play A Chapter from Don Quixote by W. G. Wills at the Lyceum Theatre, London, England on 4 May 1895. Wills's play was based on episodes in Don Quixote (1605-1615), the famous novel by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). Using their distinctive collage technique, The Beggarstaffs designed three versions of this monumental and sombre poster for a production starring Henry Irving. Their approach was a radical departure for theatrical advertising, and Irving declined to use it, declaring he wanted 'No more mills!' He similarly rejected a later Beggarstaffs' design for the play Robespierre. Although not seen on the hoardings, the original poster for A Chapter from Don Quixote was influential through its illustration in various periodicals. Dimensions: 52" x 2" x 52"h, viewable image 37.5" x 37.5"
