Description

Did Robert Johnson make a deal with the Devil at the Crossroads? That's what some folks purportedly claim. And when you heard that young man play guitar like that, well what else could you possibly believe?


Long fingers holding down the bass while he's dusting that slide guitar broom and high voice hanging above all counterpart. Full moon midnight in a tombstone graveyard. Roll the dice and walk to the crossroads. Play your song a few times. Who's that I see?


Why it's Papa Legba himself comin' to tune your guitar. We do not claim that you must sell your soul to the devil to play like that. But you are going to want to get this otherworldly poster. 


This Madame Talbot Victorian Lowbrow "Robert Johnson Crossroad Delta Blues" poster is a one-of-a-kind that would create a focal point in any room!


Poster measures 17" x 22" & frame is approximately 19" x 24".


Generous black ink lushly printed on parchment stock.
