Fantastic dynamic modernist design showing a black ellipse and a white ring surrounded by rays of orange lines on a black background creating an optical illusion to symbolise the idea of the rings - German cycle 15-20 July; English cycle 22-27 July at the Opera House Seattle Washington - information in stylised text below in red, white and orange letters. Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) is a music drama in four parts by the German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883), first performed in 1876.

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.
