Item Details

Description

This original poster has been trimmed.

We are pleased to offer this incredibly rare cardboard poster from the 1950s featuring Memphis Slim! Though no date or venue appear on this piece (they have been trimmed off), it is a wildly uncommon find that has not surfaced until now. Memphis Slim was a legendary blues artist who began recording hits in the 1940s. We have never auctioned another poster created for one of his performances! This is one of the oldest items to appear in this auction.
