This ultra rare, vintage tour blank blues concert poster from 1955 advertised a live performance headlined by Little Papa Walter (also known as Papa Lightfoot), Arthur Gunter, and Guitar Red's Orchestra. Little Papa Walter (Alexander Lightfoot), born in Natchez Mississippi, was a phenomenal harmonica player and singer who brought a fast-paced, heavy-vibrato style to the blues. He was known to play and tour under various pseudonyms, occasionally being billed as "Papa Lightfoot" and "Little Papa Walter". This cardboard poster was printed by Hatch Show Print, which is the most notable letterpress poster company of all time! They created some of the most valuable posters ever printed. Original cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly sought-after types of concert memorabilia ever known.
