Vintage Swiss Stone Lithographic Poster Custom Framed "Astoria"

About the Item

This fantastic and graphic authentic Swiss poster that is on the rare and very obscure side is a stone lithograph that is archivally linen backed and custom framed. The 4 ply silk mat matches the color of the paper. It has a much wider border at the bottom. The custom frame is an ebonized wood with a gold leaf insert attached to the frame. It is initialed AWD and unfortunately throughout all of our research we do not know who the artist is for this printing house. We have called upon all of the poster specialists and no one knows who that artist is. It is rare and obscure. There may be only a few of these that ever existed. The cafe restaurant was called Astoria. It is great graphic poster that will elicit conversation. It is in really great condition from the time period of the early 1930s. The graphic architectural design of the different planes of color and subject matter form angles. It is for a Swiss restaurant/bar that has music and billiards. The printer was Seitz and Co. An alluring poster indeed.

Vintage Kid Creole Concert Poster 1985
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Vintage Kid Creole and the Coconuts 1985 concert poster: This rare Kid Creole and the Coconuts announcement/poster was published on the occasion of his December 26th, 1985 show at Carnegie Hall. This was the band's debut performance at Carnegie Hall, and it was written about in the New York Times: "THE POP LIFE; CARNEGIE HALL DEBUT FOR KID CREOLE" (December 25th, 1985). Medium: Offset printed concert poster. Dimensions: 11 x 17 inches. Good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. American latin pop band founded by August Darnell aka Thomas Browder in 1980 in New York City. Fronted by Kid Creole (2) backed by the trio of The Coconuts and also featuring Coati Mundi, they enjoyed most of their success in the eighties. Their debut album was critically well-received but not successful commercially. Their second album was a concept album matched with a New York Public Theater stage production; it received positive reviews, with Darnell recognized as a clever lyricist and astute composer, arranger and producer. Their international breakthrough came with their third album, 1982's Tropical Gangsters, which hit #3 in the UK and spun off three Top 10 hits with Stool Pigeon, Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy and I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby ; Dear Addy also made the Top 40. In the US the album was retitled Wise Guy and reached #145, and I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby flirted with the R&B charts. Dixit Darnell: "In the Savannah Band I’d modelled my style on 1930s/40s jazz singer and showman Cab Calloway, and I created Kid Creole as an extreme version of that, a sort of lounge lizard...
