    20211106_144658!!!!!!!!!.jpg 20211106_144803111111111.jpg Appears to be some kind of advertisement for a Spanish Opera? But the name Beatriz(x) Potter was an author of children books as far as I can gather.I would just like to know something about it and if it is worth something. I purchased this at a thrift store. I really would appreciate someone's input at least, I have been searching everywhere for this same thing and haven't located one anywhere. I can't even pin down when it's from, I didn't want to remove it from the frame, I don't know what I am doing with things like this.

    The Tales of Beatrix Potter is a 1971 ballet film:

    The Tales of Beatrix Potter - Wikipedia

    How big is it? Looks like it could be a lobby card for the film, made for a Spanish-speaking area/country.

    BTW, welcome YooperGuy from a TrollGirl! ;)

    Looks like an advertisement for the 1971 ballet movie. About the authors stories.

    Although the overall graphic design of the poster suggests something a little earlier (late 1950s-1960s), the film's title and the name of producer Richard Goodwin lead us to this:
    https://tvd.wiki/wiki/Tales_of_Beatrix_Potter
    and this:
    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067570/?ref_=tt_mv_close
    -- a 1971 film of a ballet based on the work of Beatrix Potter, perhaps the most famous and most beloved of all children's authors / illustrators. Her characters -- Peter (strangely not appearing in this film) Rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddleduck, Jeremy Fisher, and on and on are iconic.

    The poster is obviously for a Mexican distribution of the film.
    Here's a one-minute clip of the 1971 production:


    I'd have been in with this half an hour earlier if not for household interruptions...

    It's from the 1971 film. (I was just feeling left out.)

    It can be identified as Mexican because Mario J. Dada was a film distributor in that country.

    Royal Ballet. Frederick Ashton. The figure in the poster is Jeremy Fisher.

    No idea who the target audience would be for resale. Ballet people, Beatrix Potter freaks, but the Spanish language makes it weird. A friend of mine in Thailand would go for it just for the weird value, but...?

    Thanks for that clip @BaseballGames. It stopped just when that bratty Squirrel Nutkin was about to lose his tail!
