The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello everybody,

Where can I find a copy of this poster?

Patrick

You sure that's a poster? A McClure's magazine page blown up? Where's the image from ?

Since you have the image, why not just bring it to your local printer and have then enlarge and print it for you? It's old enough to be public domain.

If he got that from the web, the resolution might break down by the time you enlarged it enough. The original looks like a magazine cut-out. If you had the cut-out, that could work to make into a poster.

Hello

Thank you for your answers. I searched "in depth" on Google and found this:

Edison Phonograph Monthly,Jan.,1911 7
This Ad is a reduced reproduction of the January Double-
Page Ad appearing in the big Magazines and National Weeklies.

In your view, how can I find this ad?

Patrick

If it appeared in the "big magazines" in January 1911, maybe buy some inexpensive big magazines from then ? There's a Jan. 1911 Harper's Weekly on e-bay now for ten dollars. Life magazine might be a good one as they carried lots of ads. Or Jan. 1911 McClure's - one half of which the image is apparently from.

A warm thanks for all your help!

I didn’t find this January 1911 Harper's Weekly on e-bay now for ten dollars…. ?

I search on the Life Magazine archives for January 1911, and find only January 26, 1911 (# 1474) to buy for… $ 49,00 (and I'm not even sure that this ad is inside). To research in McClure's Magazine archives, this is a bit like trying to read hieroglyphics with a dictionary.

You probably realize that I speak English like a logger. Without the help of Google Translate, I can’t understand you, alas.

No guarantee the ad will be there of course.
