#MSPRINT167 - 1904 Victorian Print - Actress Ellen Terry

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. Vintage 1904 (dated) 12 3/4" tall stone lithograph print on thin cardboard featuring Ellen Terry. The bottom is marked "Eminent Actresses of our time - Ellen Terry". This was an image from her younger years. She was a famous theatre actress for the better part of the mid to late 1800s. Marked "The Gray Litho Co. NY." Illustrated by Maud Stumm with her signature mark.

These have quite a history. They are unused old stock that was originally uncovered in a San Francisco commercial building. They were donated to a museum that wanted to sell them to raise funds for a monument dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt, but, the museum owner passed away. Now, they are here. Excellent condition. These are incredibly beautiful.

##MUSICGD2068 - Set of 5 Grateful Dead Car Window Tour Sticker/Decal - Line of Bears

Click the picture to see a larger more detailed image. You get 5 of these stickers for $2.00 (that's 40 cents each). Vintage 3 1/2" tall Grateful Dead sticker/decal. These are high quality art decals that were made for car windows. I peeled the cover off for the picture. They are in mint condition and can still be used. This one is from around the late 80's/90's. These feature a line of bears dancing with stripes of yellow, red, blue, and green across them.

These Grateful Dead stickers/decals are old tour merchandise. I found them wrapped in plastic in boxes in master cases. They came from a distributor who sold them to tour vendors. The condition is pristine and they still will work as a car decal or window/mirror sticker. We found them packed away in storage boxes dated 1992 (many are older than that) and 1995 (year Jerry Garcia died). They are high quality artist renderings of Grateful Dead themes. Back in the day, the Dead did not monitor copyrights and that sort of thing, and in fact, at one point encouraged artists to do designs. The LA times explained it well "The Grateful Dead was famously lax in enforcing it’s intellectual property rights and trademarks, allowing fans to create their own designs using the band’s expansive iconography”. Since there was no serious monitoring or much concern back then, a lot of up and coming artists got involved in designing them. This is how some of them got their starts. Some of the sticker artists who designed these stickers went on to produce official licensed works for the Grateful Dead and other famous groups. These stickers include some by now famous designers including David Opie, and others. These 1995 and older stickers are very hard to find anymore.
