Lend An Ear (Illustrated, 1948)

The record-shattering 1948 Broadway flagship premiere run of Charles Gaynor’s variety spectacular 'Lend an Ear' at the National Theatre completely reconfigured the parameters of the modern commercial revue format. Backed note-for-note by a thundering big band orchestration executing show-business lampoons, the production turned the stage into an active playground. This highly collectible alternative promotional variant print features the rare, striking mid-century hand-drawn graphic illustration poster layout.
