Manchester Bury Victorian Calendar Poster

These are NOT cinema posters but two Victorian Calendar posters (15"x 20" & 17"x 21 1/2" approx) being interesting pieces of commercial advertising with lots of social history, these dating 1887 & 1888 respectively.

It appears as if local companies & tradesmen would commission these calendar posters approaching Christmas. It is likely that the artwork designs were in template form & the commissioning business would have their details added. Presumably these calendars were then given to favoured clients. The "Gamekeeper" poster was issued on behalf of "Jackson & Co Family Grocers" of Manchester & the "Good Night, Father" poster was by "Douglas & Co, Preserve, Marmalade & Biscuit Merchants" of Bury.

Both posters with some rim damage including some paper loss & with several conservation tape repairs to splits/tears to the reverse etc but both display well & are fascinating early examples of commercial poster advertising with Manchester/Bury local interest.
