Description: This auction is for an apparently extremely rare limited poster of Maurice Sendak from 1990. I knew nothing about what this actually was, and found only 1 comp on Ebay of the exact same poster. Now it's important to note that their example (that they were asking over $1,000 for!) was hand signed by Maurice and mine is not. But considering the rarity suggested, I thought I'd better do a Buy it Now for $300 or best offer for a time and see what happens. Sound good? Below is what I copied from that seller's much more educated description. (See below)A Promotional Poster entitled "In Celebration of Maurice Sendak," portraying various famous characters created and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Characters from the following books are featured: "Kenny's Window" (1956); "The Sign on Rosie's Door" (1960); "The Nutshell Library" (1962), comprised of "Pierre," "Alligators All Around," "Chicken Soup with Rice," and "One Was Johnny"; "Where the Wild Things Are" (1963); "In the Night Kitchen" (1970); and "Outside Over There" (1981). Amongst others, the Poster depicts the following Characters; Wild Things, Max, Alligator, Rosie, The Baker, Mickey, and The Lion. Also signed in stone as "Maurice Sendak / Feb. 90" at lower right. The poster was originally produced in 1990 ahead of the re-publication of Sendak's earlier books. This poster is one of the original, more scarce promotional posters from 1990. Sendak's re-publication project was delayed, and the poster image was eventually revised and printed in 2001 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Sendak's career as a children's book artist. The 10-year delay prevented a wider distribution of the original poster from 1990. Recently acquired a veritable buttload of vintage poster that I'll be working to put up here at auction in the next week or two. I know very little about many of these, so if you have any info on some PLEASE contact me and fill me in!I'll be putting up all kinds of my collections of what I think are cool things in the next couple weeks, so save me as a seller, check my other auctions periodically, and hopefully win a few for one fair combined shipping rate! First off, please take note. I am simply a guy who loves to collect and occasionally wants (needs) to declutter and downsize…meaning get rid of some stuff! I am not an experienced reseller, nor do I have an Ebay store. So, there are bound to be some mistakes, miscues, poor pictures, incomplete descriptions, what have you. Bottom line, please FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME w/ any questions regarding anything I sell. I am no expert in the goods I offer up here. I merely loved them and bought them at some point. Ultimately though, I WANT YOU TO KNOW PRECISELY WHAT YOU’RE GETTING in bidding on my things, with no gray area whatsoever. So DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT. As selling on Ebay is a sideline to my main career, I will be able to answer emails in the evenings and some mornings. I also will be able to ship packages twice a week most likely. In a nutshell, PLEASE BE PATIENT. I am not Amazon and cannot have your package to you overnight. But trust that I will do the very best I can. I WILL GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING. Simply reach out to me when getting multiple items, again when you’re all finished, and I’ll invoice you with a total including very reasonable shipping cost. As I start back into this selling stuff after some years away from it, we’ll find the way to navigate what works best for both parties. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME. Standard shipping rates will not apply. I will weigh your package and get online shipping quotes and get back to you with a total. As an Ebay member since 1999 with outstanding feedback, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY are of utmost importance with me. I will do all I can (within reason) to assure both parties are mutually satisfied with our transactions. If when it comes time to leave feedback, you feel compelled to post negative or even neutral ones, DO REACH OUT TO ME FIRST WITH ANY ISSUE and we’ll work to resolve it.
