This is a circa 1890’s to 1900 American advertising Victorian entertainment performer music conducting poster called “The Star Boarder” for a show with a famous music performer known as Charles H. Boyle, an early imitator of John Philips Sousa. He produced an American traveling vaudeville show called “The Star Boarder, That Funny Show”.

The poster is a stone lithograph in excellent, A condition. A rare and wonderful American piece, humorous, with beautiful early graphic typography and text. Do you know Charles H.
