AN ORIGINAL THEATRE POSTER DESIGNED AND AUTOGRAPHED BY PREEMINENT ARTIST AND FILM POSTER DESIGNER JOHN ALVIN FOR  THE MUSICAL "LORELEI" STARRING CAROL CHANNING.  WHAT MAKES THIS POSTER SO HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE IS THAT IT ONE OF THE FEW, IF NOT THE ONLY, THEATRE POSTERS CREATED BY THE LATE JOHN ALVIN.  THE POSTER WAS DESIGNED FOR A CHARITY ONE NIGHT ONLY BENEFIT PERFORMANCE (FOR THE OSCAR REISS CHILDREN'S WORKERS FOR THE REISS-DAVIS CHILD STUDY CENTER OF LOS ANGELES/TUESDAY OCTOBER 9TH/SHUBERT THEATRE LOS ANGELES) STARRING THE ORIGINAL "HELLO DOLLY!" CAROL CHANNING.

ALVIN ALSO DESIGNED THE "STAR WARS" ANNIVERSARY POSTERS.   AND THE LIST GOES ON....
THIS "LORELEI" POSTER IS ROLLED AND MEASURES 14.5" X 27.25".  IT IS IN  MINT CONDITION.  A BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED POSTER AND CAROL CHANNING NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
" I ALWAYS SAY A KISS ON THE HAND MIGHT FEEL VERY GOOD, BUT A DIAMOND TIARA LASTS FOREVER".
"never live with regret"...
Hello.  By way of introduction and for your information, I am TMQPOSTERS.
Everything that you will see on my EBay Selling List is from my personal private collection.  I started collecting NEW and VINTAGE ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTERS (especially GONE WITH THE WIND,  STAR WARS,
all SPIELBERG, DISNEY, ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS, BATMAN, LORD OF THE RINGS, HARRY POTTER, BROADWAY,
CLASSIC,
CULT, CAMP, TRASH, ETC!!!) since I was a 27 year old in 1976 when I moved and lived in NYC.
All the posters (even the originally folded ones) have been rolled in tubes and stored in a temperature controlled environment from the time I purchased each one.
Needless to say, it is a diverse and eclectic collection of over 650 POSTERS.   I also collected ANIMATION ART, specifically ORIGINAL DISNEY HAND PAINTED PRODUCTION BACKGROUND PAINTINGS that went under camera in the filming of Disney movies.  I will not knowingly misrepresent the pieces I put on EBay.
All the photographs you see of my posters and art are ones that I have taken, not downloaded from other online sites. I will gladly answer all questions, discuss shipping, etc.
Whether you're a fan, collector, dealer, and/or looking for an investment piece I know what I have and the values of what I am offering.
The Movie and Theatre Posters and Animation Art I offer will be interesting, diverse, original and in many cases a rare opportunity for any collector.  Yes, some are Museum quality pieces, or obviously will be.
I am now 62 years old, downsizing, and divesting myself of this collection just as enthusiastically as when I started accumulating this wonderful brilliant trash. Thanks for your interest.
And wait till you see what will be "COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!!!"
Too often in life we regret not doing things that we are able to do, for whatever reason, when we are presented with the opportunity to do so.  I say “Never live with regret”.
