But seriously, I've said it before I will say it again, that man is STUNNING!

Yeah, this is often the case with the early stuff...I find them hard to beat most of the time, and that's why I love them.collectahollic said:If only there was another copy around to see what's missing from the bottom (only 32 inches remain). The artwork is actually some of the best I've seen in a long time and I'm almost tempted to have it linen backed (not restored).

Agreed... Maybe just ugly posters from around the world!Bruce said:
So maybe the name of this thread should be changed to "The Ugly Americans (and Canadians)"

Re: Postage and Packaging
Just pack the poster in such a way that is at least somewhat resistant to bending.
Fuck me.

Re: Nice price for the consignor
Now the previously unseen daybill image of the Colorcraft version of Genevieve has appeared it all makes sense. Five versions indeed there were. The W.E. Smith version would have been the original version printed for the Sydney Australian release in 15 / 9 / 1954. The Colorcraft version, and seeing it appears Colorcraft only were active around 1954 and 1955 and perhaps a little later, along with the same billing plus with an adapted version of the W.E. Smith design, including the yellow section on the bottom left hand corner that seems out of place appearing, it would I believe have been a very early second printing.This leaves the three Robert Burton versions.Robert Burton only started to commence printing some of the of BEF product circa 1957 so the three they would have been printed at various times 1957 or later as follow up printings and possibly a re-release thrown in as well with the upgraded Kenneth More billing.

Re: W.E Smith
I'd have to say that these are the best examples of stocks that I have, I have others such as 40's Walt Disneys and I believe 50's Columbia, WB's and Paramount's, but they don't come close to the artwork and colour of these 5.HONDO said:collectahollic said:
A 'full house' of MGM's
I have seen a few of this MGM stock poster with titles filled in as well. I was only thinking about MGM stock posters a few days ago. I have started to group all the different MGM styles of stock posters in chronological order or at least in printer's operating time periods. Anyone interested ? If enough interest I will present a new thread titled ''MGM Generic Stock Poster Daybills ( 1940's & 1950's )''.
