Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) Ticket Seller, 1937 Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post ( April 24, 1937) Media print lithography on paper Originally created for the April 24, 1937 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, Ticket Seller was hand proofed and printed by Circle Gallery. This full color lithograph measures 27 by 21 in and the edition consists of 320 impressions. 200 were numbered and 60 were signed in pencil by Norman Rockwell. 35 impressions were pencil signed and designated with Roman numerals, and an additional 25 were printed on Nacre (Japon) paper. "Are you bored? Travel!" says one of the posters affixed to this ticket office. The painting is a study in boredom and also, perhaps, a reminder of the Great Depression that still lingered on in 1937. The worst of it may have been over by then, but few people had the money to take advantage of invitations such as "Why not go to Europe?" In any case, Europe had been rendered less attractive to some potential travelers by events such as the Spanish Civil War. The scene is remarkable because it describes both the current events at the time and an illustration of human sentiment. Image Size: 24 x 19.75 in. Overall Framed Size: 34 x 29.25 in. Framed behind glass.
Howard Koslow (1924 - 2016) "Circus Design for use w/ 4 Stamps" Signed lower left. Acrylic on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the 29c Circus Se-tenant Block of 4 issued April 6, 1993. All across America the arrival of the circus was one of the most eagerly-awaited events of the year. Weeks before, garish posters promised mysterious animals from darkest Africa, aerial acts filled with "death-defying" feats and as one Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey advertisement proclaimed, "Ten Thousand Wonders from Every Land." Who could resist such a fantastic claim? Once the circus train finally pulled into town, the sounds of roaring jungle beasts blended with the roustabouts' whistles and shouts. In just a few short hours an empty field was magically transformed into a sea of canvas tents. Refreshment trailers, ticket wagons and men clutching bunches of brilliantly-colored balloons lined the midway. Barkers delivered their noisy spiels beckoning all to experience "The Greatest Show on Earth." Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 20.25 x 18 in. Unframed. (B14301)

Original vintage music poster advertising a concert presented by Bill Graham featuring Blood Sweat and Tears, John Handy and Son House. The event took place between from March 15 to 17 1968 at the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco. Great psychedelic design by Stanley Mouse. Blood, Sweat & Tears is a jazz-rock Canadian-American music group. They are noted for their combination of brass and rock band instrumentation. The group recorded songs by rock/folk songwriters such as Laura Nyro, James Taylor, the Band and the Rolling Stones as well as Billie Holiday and Erik Satie. They also incorporated music from Thelonious Monk and Sergei Prokofiev into their arrangements. They were originally formed in 1967 in New York City. Since their beginnings, the band has gone through numerous iterations with varying personnel and has encompassed a multitude of musical styles. The band is most notable for their fusion of rock, blues, pop music, horn arrangements and jazz improvisation into a hybrid that came to be known as "jazz-rock". Unlike "jazz fusion" bands, which tend toward virtuosic displays of instrumental facility and some experimentation with electric instruments, the songs of Blood, Sweat & Tears merged the stylings of rock, pop and R&B/soul music with big band, while also adding elements of 20th-century classical and small combo jazz traditions.
