****
ORIGINAL 1934 GARY COOPER
MOVIE POSTER INSERT (14x36 inches)
Offered here for sale is an ORIGINAL 1934 INSERT (14x36 inch) Movie Poster made to advertise one of the greatest adventure films of all time: "LIVES OF A BENGAL LANCER." This giant "A" studio production turned out to be a winning vehicle for "Golden Age" Hollywood actor Gary Cooper. It was a big hit at the time, and, an "artistically" well-received production, gathering seven (7) Academy Award nominations including best picture. This is clearly one of Cooper's best titles. It's always found at the top of his list - standing out - amidst the extremely impressive filmography. I think one of the reasons is the year in which it was made, or should I say released: January 1935. That's the heart of the great depression and it's when big Hollywood was really coming into its own releasing large-scale (((sound))) adventure features like this. If you'll notice on the close-up that I posted (see photo #4) this particular poster has a 1934 copyright date. That's because it was likely printed in late 1934 to be ready to send theaters come 1935. It certainly makes this an early original.
Another reason this film tops the list of Cooper classics is the film's fabulous direction handled by one of Hollywood's favorite helmsman: Henry Hathaway. Hathaway was acknowledged for his outstanding work on "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" with an Academy Award nomination. Original posters advertising this film are practically nonexistent, and so that makes this rare beauty a real find. The shot on horseback is a perfect example of exquisite vintage 1930's movie poster imagery. And the close-up of Gary Cooper is - to coin a phrase - "super-duper!" This may be the only surviving example of this original insert poster, and if not - IT'S one of only a tiny number in existence! Keep in mind that ANY 1934 (or 1935) ORIGINAL Paramount Studio movie poster is going to be RARE!
This poster is in
FANTASTIC Excellent+++ Condition!!
The poster ONLY had the standard folds and whatnot that you see on 1930's inserts - THAT'S it! I had the poster paper-backed by one of the top conservators in the county to flatten them out. It worked perfectly. The poster displays nice!
I've posted direct high-resolution scans here on eBay so you can really see how nice this poster truly is
. I've had the poster stored FLAT since it was backed. I'll ship it flat to keep it flat and to keep the folds from coming back!
LINEN-MOUNTING & CONSERVATION PAPER BACKING
is an accepted form of poster preservation by the Library of Congress and every Museum in the country. Except for one or two, every one of the top twenty 0,000.00 and up most expensive selling movie posters were all paper or linen-mounted. A lot of advanced poster buyers request and prefer mounted posters because it makes framing and displaying the posters much easier. All of my backed posters have been stored FLAT so they DO NOT have a curl from storing them rolled in a tube - They're ready for framing and display!
Buying this poster is ECONOMY PROOF!
Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! With the purchase of an historic document such as this Gary Cooper treasure, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you'll still have the poster, which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value, and, if civilization itself crashes - Who'll care about money? This poster is definitely
ECONOMY PROOF!
