This wonderful original Swedish theater poster, designed by Sven Erik Skawonius, a renowned Swedish designer, scenographer, craftsman, and book illustrator, advertises a 1950s tour by Dramatiska Teatern featuring Strindberg's 1899 comedy "Brott och Brott" ("Crime and Crime"). The play premiered at Dramaten on January 26, 1900.
The design features a blue background with a red door or opening, through which a couple can be seen dancing. The drawings use the white paper color for strokes and outlines, creating a striking contrast.
The poster is in excellent condition, with only a small, barely noticeable tear. The colors are fresh, and it has never been hung or used.
