About This Item
Bonn: J. F. Carthaus, 1963. First Edition. Broadside, approximately 61 x 43 cm. Artist's monogram in print in top-left corner (artist unkown). Original three folds for mailing. Mild wear and toning along folds, soft crease in lower-right corner, else near fine.
A striking poster advertising Karl Magersuppe's Die Holzköppe puppet troupe's performance of Marcel Achard's MARLBOROUGH S'EN VA-T-EN GUERRE ("Marlborough Goes to War") in the 1953 Bonn International Puppet Festival. Karl Magersuppe (1900-1981) was a popular German puppeteer, whose troupe (translated as "The Woodenheads") has performed since 1949, initially as a traveling ensemble and, since 1955, at its own theater in Steinau an der Strasse, birthplace of the Brothers Grimm. We have located one institutional copy, at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Scarce, and in remarkably fine condition for the fragile, thin paper on which it is printed.
