I just picked up this poster at the thrift store.  I came in with some stuff from the early 1900s and is definitely old, but I don't think it's from 1841.

I say 1841 because that's when this obscure meeting with seemingly no historical importance took place.  I found a pdf of The Evening Post, July 28, 1841 advertising this meeting, a lot of the same text as in the poster.

The paper is aged, yellowed, it looks almost pinkish to me in some light.

Also, there is a picture of this poster on some gov / educational site, you can find it pretty easily searching Google images.  The marks on this that I thought could be legit water marks are exactly the same as the marks that I saw on the image from Google.  The site with the image lists a site that is no more as the source of the picture.

So it's made to look older, that goes for the scratch marks that frame the content as well.

I bet this poster was made somewhere from 1900-1950, but I have no expertise whatsoever.

One thing that puzzles me is why the hell someone would make a reprint of a meeting that seemingly has no historical importance.  The names on the poster are real people, but they are footnotes in the history books.  My only explanation here is that a) maybe someone liked the artwork and b) "Old Wigwam" inspires a sense of "times of old" / deep historical roots of the organization, so someone might have picked out for reprint for that quality.

Please let me know if you came across any info about this poster / flyer / whatever it is.
