    Description

    Much like Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck, Benny Goodman became a kind of roving ambassador for American culture beginning in the late '50s. And eight days before he began a much-publicized and well-documented week-long stand at the Brussels Worlds Fair, Goodman made his first-ever appearance in Germany at the Deutsches Museum Kongresshalle in Munich.  This poster --which certainly looks to me to be the work of the renowned German poster artist Gunther Kieser-- measures 26 X 36 when you include the black metal frame. The framing work was done when I bought it about 15 years ago. But now that I'm downsizing, it's time for it to move to another home. The poster and the frame are in quite excellent condition...but there is a flaw. There's a small crack in the glass near the bottom right corner. Because of that, I'll set the initial price somewhat lower than I would have otherwise. I'll give it extra-careful packing and shipping via FedEx for . Or, I can do a free local pickup in the New York suburbs of Westchester County and Connecticut,
