Royal Dutch Theatre Ik Dien I Serve
Original vintage advertising poster for a theatre production of Ik Dien - spel ter verheerlijking van zuster Beatrijs door Herman Teirlinck Koninklijke Nederlandsche Schouwburg / I Serve - play to glorify Sister Beatrice by Herman Teirlinck at the Royal Dutch Theatre featuring artwork showing a lady sitting on the ground in front of a nun holding her hands together praying and a figure of Jesus Christ on a cross in the background, all with their heads bowed down, the title in bold blue and white lettering below with smaller images between the text and the 22-24 March 1924 weekend performance dates and times above. Herman Louis Cesar Teirlinck (1879-1967) was an award winning Belgian writer; his play Ik Dien premiered in Brussels in 1923 to critical success; the play was an adaptation of the 14th century poem Beatrijs / Beatrice about a nun who falls in love with a man and leaves her convent but returns fourteen years later to discover that Mary (the Mother of Jesus) has been acting in her place. Good condition, folds, tears, paper losses.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
