750 colorful, amazing, funny, saucy, fascinating vintage posters of comedies, musicals, showgirls and showmen, troupes & performers

We have seen other vintage theater posters collections of lesser quality. To our knowledge all others offer images of 72 dpi, basically un-organized and many marred by creases, scratches, torn patches and other damage, often to the point of being unusable.
We are pleased to offer our restored images at 300 dpi.
This collection is carefully organized and enhanced by our MANY HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION WORK to bring you the finest set possible. (see restoration examples below)
Ideal for cards, calendars, illustrations, decoupage, transfers, magnets, paper crafts. An un-tapped image resource for altered art & books!
Also great for historical interest, theater buffs, just to browse for fun. |

What makes Lunagirl collections the best available anywhere?
We've spent many months and hundreds of hours arranging and preparing these CDs, to bring you the best, most professional collections available. We know the numbers can be overwhelming, and we wanted our customers to be able to experience our collections as easily as they might go through a carefully organized library of family albums of photos. Read more here.
Our Image Gallery Viewer sets our collections apart from all others we've seen. Most other image collections are just a bunch of files dumped in some folders on a CD. We've taken the time and care to make sure each of our thousands of images is displayed in its full beauty, with a beautiful background and with all menu options just a mouse-click away.
Scrolling thumbnails are always visible for quick finding. All images are carefully categorized into albums of pictures. We use only the finest quality Taiyo Yuden CDs. |

The play posters were the equivalent and predecessors of today's movie previews -- they usually show a scene from the play with some quotes from the dialogue -- often with statements about how this is the greatest, the funniest, the biggest, the absolute best show ever!
The plays sometimes reveal hot issues of the day -- including votes for women, and immigration (some offer ridicule & stereotypes, some joke about life in a new unfamiliar land, a few re-enact Irish stories). |
