AA Marks- 1907 Mail Order Poster

Charles King

Hello,

The below link is to a picture of a reproduced 1907 AA Marks-mail order poster.   It been created as apossible fundraiser for the O&P library. I’m just trying to judge interest in this giclée print.  I think this would look great hanging in anoffice.  Do you?  Would this poster offered as a premium result in a robust donation to the nonprofit O&P library?  It’s poster size, 22×28 andlooks great in a frame.  Linked picture follows:

The picture doesn’t do it justice.   

The original order sheets were printed on tissue paper(think McCalls sewing patterns rather than gift tissue paper) placed in a book and over time suffered fromwrinkles, rips and burns along the folds. It turned out that each order sheets were folded slightly differentlyand if enough order sheets were acquired, lost images could be recaptured bycareful scanning of various sheets.  Ittook years to acquire enough order sheets to replace obliterated images. 

Cost?  I’m thinking itwould be worthwhile to produce this as a fundraiser at a donation level ofabout the cost of say ten 3 ply socks.  Toprint each giclée print it costs about three to four  3 ply socks.   I’m talking quality socks but this is all relative value of course, the O&Plibrary needs currency.    

Best regards,
Charles
