It shows a very Roman Julius Caeser in full Roman dress, with a protective but open palm stance over the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra who is wearing very little as if to accentuate a love affair, with two birds in her open hands. The play was held in the Odense Theatre in Odense, Denmark.\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned by Bjørn Wiinblad\u003cbr\u003e\nPrinted by: TT Serigrafi\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 33 in x 23.5 in (100 cm x 70 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: fold mark top right corner, see photos. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBjørn Wiinblad was a Danish painter, designer and artist in ceramics, silver, bronze, textiles, and graphics. His work includes whimsical round-faced people, dressed in vaguely 19th-century costume. They are often surrounded by natural elements: twining vines, floral wreaths, and fantastical trees. When Wiinblad employed color, he did so with great assurance. His colors are saturated and strong—sometimes almost psychedelic—and are often supplemented with metallic gold or silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaesar and Cleopatra is a play written in 1898 by George Bernard Shaw that depicts a fictionalized account of the relationship between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. It was first published with Captain Brassbound's Conversion and The Devil's Disciple in Shaw's 1901 collection Three Plays for Puritans. It was first performed in a single staged reading at Newcastle upon Tyne on 15 March 1899, to secure the copyright. The play was produced in New York in 1906 and in London at the Savoy Theatre in 1907.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206162489731,"sku":"LAVLV","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.5964815196_qbfj.jpg?v=1768962410","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1974-bjorn-wiinblad-poster-caesar-60127","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
