A pair of Jenny Lind (Rebecca Ferguson) news articles from Michael Gracey's musical biopic The Greatest Showman. After P.T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) cajoled her into joining his traveling show, newspapers declaring the Swedish soprano Lind an international success were hung in McCarthy's Tavern.

These news articles were made for the production; one is headlined "Lindmania Sweeps Nation!" and one headlined "Jenny Lind's Triumph." Both are typewritten on printer paper edited to look like mid-19th century newsstock and mounted behind glass in black wood frames. Both frames feature hanging wires and tape from production on the reverse. The articles are in good overall condition with tape residue and cracking to the wood on both frames.

Dimensions (each): 17" x 12" x 1 1/4" (43.25 cm x 30.5 cm x 3.25 cm)

Estimate: $400 - 600
