Dockstader and Armstrong's Operatic Minstrels (Burrow-Giles, 1897). Very Fine on Linen. Theater Poster (35.5" X 25.5).
Two of the most well known names in the 1890s vaudeville circuit joined forces in 1897 to form Dockstader and Armstrong's Operatic Minstrels, featuring the minstrel blackface comedians Lew Dockstader and Harry J. Armstrong. Dockstader, born as George Alfred Clapp, showed a talent for music at an early age, teaching himself a number of instruments until his teenage showbiz debut. Armstrong, born as James Henry Armstrong, also started his comedy career as a teenager in the 1860s, touring around the nation with various theater and circus acts. This very rare stone litho poster has light partial touchup applied to some small tears and minor chips at the bottom. There is a title snipe at the top advertising the joint act. Very Fine on Linen.
