About The Poster:
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the world's largest performing arts festival. It started in 1947 as an unofficial offshoot (on the "fringes") of the Edinburgh International Festival, which focused primarily on music (especially classical music). While the event started out as a theatre festival, stand-up comedy acts started to be included in the early 80's. Nowadays, comedy is the festival's main attraction.
This poster was designed to promote the 1981 edition of the festival. It was designed by Lorna Hush, at the time a 16-year-old student from Edinburgh.
Poster is in great condition, with some very slight creasing on the edges. See photos for more details.
