Antiquarian

Book

This spectacular LONG OUT OF PRINT Antiquarian auction catalogue lists and describes 245 Lots, ALL of which appear to be illustrated, of really vintage classical Movie Posters and Lobby Cards for American and Foreign Films!

About this book --

Movies represented -- The African Queen, Blood and Sand, Boys Town, Charlie Chan's Greatest Case, Dumbo, The Devil is a Woman, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars, House of Frankenstein, The Last Man, The Phantom of the Opera, Sullivan's Travels, and MANY others!

WOWSERS! Now here is a real find! Advertising (one page) art = poster = afiche for some of the most memorable flicks made during the last century -- in just about every imaginable genre, American and international! What a delight to see once more The Seven Year Itch, that delightful Marilyn Monroe classic shown in 1955 -- I was 15 and during that summer worked as an usher in a Wildwood, NJ movie theatre -- must have seen that picture several dozen times!

Historical notes on the best known producers add very informative details to this marvelous book -- Fox, 20th Century Pictures, Metro, MGM, Paramount, Columbia, RKO, Warner Brothers, First National, Republic -- as well as notes on some of the greatest stars of the silver screen -- Shirley Temple, Betty Grable, Greta Garbo, Laurel and Hardy, Fred Astaire, the early Disney film characters, Rudolph Valentino, and MANY more!

You will find a wealth of information, in color photos as well as in descriptive text, to add to your personal computer interactive relational database of these classical posters. Not infrequently one can still find these art works at local yard / garage sales, flea markets and country / estate auctions. If your database is extensive, you may be the only one there who knows what is being sold and its relative value! Simply scan all the items and add them and their corresponding data to your database and take your virus and bug free Apple laptop with you in your activity. A must have for interior decorators / dealers / collectors / appraisers / museum curators / students & researchers working on projects related to vintage cine posters and memorabilia, their artists, designs and history.
