We inherited this item from an elder inside our immediate family.  We decided we don't need it, so we are selling it to let somebody buy it and appreciate it.  They had this item on their wall in their house ever since they got it at the show back in early 1981.  They had it Professionally Framed right after they got it.  It is an Original Poster from the Houston Grand Opera entitled The Magic Flute. It's signed by Maurice Sendak, the illustrator. Poster has - M. Sendak & Sept. 80 - in the right bottom corner as part of the poster.  The poster was signed (very bottom right) by Maurice Sendak.  He also dated it Feb '81 - at the time when the show was held.  It is also a Limited Numbered Edition poster 246/250 - (very bottom left).  Poster measures about 19-1/2 inches by 25-1/2 inches. Frame measures just over 20 inches by just over 26 inches.  It is in Very Good to Excellent Vintage Condition.  It has a little Age and Handle wear.  Please look at all the pictures - this is the actual Item you are bidding on.  No Overseas or International Bidders or Shipping. See our feedback and buy with confidence. If you have any questions, please contact us before buying.  Thanks and Good Luck!
