About this 1949 concert poster
Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. It was designed to promote a 1949 concert. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. Original concert posters were often printed in small runs, which makes surviving examples rare.
Styling this vintage concert poster
This 1949 poster for Billie Holiday brings a slice of 1940s music history to the wall. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this vintage concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. For a gallery wall, pair this vintage concert poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart. Hang this vintage concert poster with its centre about 57 inches (145 cm) from the floor, or 8–10 inches above furniture.
