ITEM DESCRIPTION
Up for auction is a wonderful and very large 1964 black and white poster by Joe Kaufman featuring sketches of 17 CBS reporters. It's on thick card board and is 30 inches wide and 46 inches tall. Among the notable reporters on it are Douglas Edwards, Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Severeid, Howard K. Smith, Harry Reasoner and more. It predates Cronkite's evening news anchor position (1968) because he's listed on it as having a news show at 1 p.m. Friday. Douglas Edwards was evening anchor at 7:15. Whoever had this piece wrote in the names of the reporters and numbered the list with a numeric notation on their shirt collars. While that mars the poster, it also is informative since some are not as well known. Very cool old piece of television news memorabilia. Poster curves somewhat outward, but it would probably flatten if carefully pressed and held down for a spell.
No shipping on this item. It's not heavy, but it's big and will just be too expensive.
Do your own research and bid accordingly. Ask questions.
