Frank Sinatra: The Man, The Music, The Legend Conference Poster

This item is a framed poster advertising 'The Conference: Frank Sinatra - The Man, The Music, The Legend' held at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, from November 12-14, 1998. The poster features a central watercolor-style illustration of a smiling Frank Sinatra in a tuxedo, holding a microphone. The artwork, characterized by fluid brushstrokes and vibrant blues and purples for his suit, is set against a background of what appears to be handwritten lyrics or musical notes, contributing to a dynamic and artistic representation. A signature is visible below the illustration, likely that of the artist. Below the artwork, 'THE CONFERENCE' is prominently displayed, followed by 'FRANK SINATRA' in a stylized, bold typeface with elongated 'S' characters, adding a classic yet sophisticated touch. Further text reads 'The Man, The Music, The Legend' and the conference dates 'November 12 - 14, 1998'. The bottom proudly states 'HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY • HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK'. The poster itself appears to be printed on quality paper, likely a glossy or semi-glossy stock, and is encased in a simple, slim silver-toned metal frame with a clear protective cover (likely glass or acrylic). The visible condition suggests it is well-preserved, with no obvious tears, creases, or significant discoloration. The frame shows some minor reflections, indicating a smooth, intact surface. The overall presentation is clean and professional, indicative of an official event advertisement. The craftsmanship of the poster printing appears high, with good color saturation and detail in the illustration.
