POSTER SIGNED BY WILLIAM STYRON

Descripción

Original poster. 17 1/2 inches by 11 1/2 inches. Shortly after the publication of A Tidewater Morning in 1993, William Styron appeared for a reading in the Business Auditorium on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Sponsors of the reading included the College of Humanities and Sciences, the Dept. of English, New Virginia Review, Richmond Newspapers, Inc., Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Joel, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the Jefferson Hotel. Offered here is an original poster for that event, boldly SIGNED, without inscription, in black ink by Pulitzer Prize (The Confessions of Nat Turner) and National Book Award (Sophie's Choice) winner William Styron. We purchased the poster from the person for whom Styron signed it, and we guarantee the authenticity of both the autograph and the poster. This poster is extremely rare--a Google search turned up no mention of either the poster or the reading at VCU. The poster indicates that the reading was on October 20, but we have not yet pinned down the year (1993 or 1994). Styron did few readings in the 1990s; very seldom do Styron posters from that era appear on the market. The poster is protected in a simple black frame under Tru Vue conservation clear glass. The poster is in virtually as-new condition; the frame has a few scrapes, and probably should be replaced. [Note: we can ship the poster with or without the frame--the shipping cost will be significantly lower without the frame.] Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. N° de ref. del artículo W1450
