We have a large collection of original event and theatre posters offered for sale. They include advertisements for the Greenport movie theater on Front Street, the Greenport Sky-Way Drive-in on Route 25 (defunct), the John Drew Theater in East Hampton, as well as various parades, dances, and bazaars hosted by the Greenport NY Fire Department and other Greenport entities.
We only have one copy of each poster. Tip: if you click on a poster thumbnail below it will open a new window with a full size photo. These robust designs were either hand drawn or composed using wood type. The original posters were individually printed on manual offset platen presses one color at a time. The earliest one is 1926, but most are from the 1950-1970.
If the original poster has sold, we offer excellent full-size reproductions printed on archival paper. The caption identifies which format is available.
The price for the original poster is $300. plus frame, shipping, and tax. The price for the reproduction is $200. plus frame, shipping, and tax. We can float-frame them, without a mat, in either white or black for $55. Most of the posters are 14 x 22 inches and once framed they are 18 x 26 inches. A few John Drew ones are 11 x 17. If you have specific framing requirements, let us know. Email shop@raynewyork.com to inquire or to place an order. We’ll ship anywhere.
