"READ" poster
Sting for America's Libraries
Copyright 1984 American Library Association.
Produced by Marketing By Design.
You are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ campaign. Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a famous person posing with their favorite book (or books). All celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and visibility to a general audience. The ALA tries to feature a range of diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both adults and children. If you've ever visited your local library (which you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.
This particular poster features Sting from The Police dressed in period costume, reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in front of a castle. This was part of the first series in ALA's Celebrity READ posters, released in 1985 (the 1st set included Bette Midler, Bill Cosby, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sting). The Sting poster is considered an extremely rare and highly sought-after collectible.
A great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or, celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!
CONDITION:
I would consider this poster excellent, suitable for framing. However, because of its age it cannot be considered "mint." Very, very minimal wrinkling or other signs of aging. No evidence of tape removal or tack marks from being displayed, and the corners are all still sharp.
[SEE PICS]
MEASUREMENTS:
approx. 34 inches tall by 22 inches wide
(34" x 22")
