Yeah it's of no importance of them to do individual requests like that. I asked in 2008 for an image of their Wolf Man daybill and got nowhere. Still waiting.
-
Irrelevant, but I've always liked that landscape When Worlds Collide art - except for the bit where the tidal wave appears in front of the girls arm!
-
Great artist but my cupboard is bare. Struzan worked in the era of super glossy posters - which I've never fancied.
-
That's good. Some of those yearbook issues are quite rare, I did have other earlier issues but misguidedly traded them many moons ago.
-
Lawrence - 1948-49 is the only one of those listed I have and the PRC 46-47 and 47-48 releases appear in them.

The following are the Australian PRC releases for respectively 1945-46 and 1947-48.

I shall see what other releases I can dig out.
-
These are for period June 30 46 to July 1 47. -
My limited information on PRC is PRC - Hoyts is listed as a releasing company in the Film Weekly annuals from the time. These annuals also list the titles released for the year, as they do for all the other releasing companies. The PRC films relea…

Bluebeard and Fog Island - two borderline horror films were released here by PRC - Hoyts but it seems none of the others were.

Here's a Gunns slide box, the art a bit obscured by the added postage labels.

Great 1 sheet, although the images of Hitler on both posters aren't completely on the mark.
-
The posters- I wish. I don't have any PRC ones and have not spied any in 36 years of activity. I do have the list of releases from the late 40s. I don't have the Australian releases from before 46, because I don't have the Film Weekly directory's fr…

Yes. I have the PRC releases from the late 40s, and the ones after, well, I'm less interested in.
-
Hondo - I'm interested in the titles from before 1946 released in Australia.

I am sorry to hear that.

Fog Island, another P.R.C. horror film was released here in September 1946.

Every thing Trump touches dies (a popular saying). This decay even extends to the movie poster hobby on the other side of the world!
-
The British quad is really superb, which is actually the country of origin poster.
-
The Mystery of Edwin Drood Insert card, a possible indication of what a daybill might look like. -
Julius Caesar looks original to me. It was released again in the 60's with the MGM lion logo common to that period.
-
Most of the 1 sheets at that Pickles Auction were U.S. printed rather than Australian. A heap of them were resold linen backed in London in the late 90's.
-
There were other Greater Movie Seasons daybills from the 20s. I have seen one with the Paramount logo as the main graphic on a blue background and the coffee table book Reel Art has a black and white photo showing various foreign Paramount posters a…

Looks like an Italian poster circa 1950s 0r 60s, the actor - dunno.
-
I had a glass slide that also had 20thFox on it, but it was 20thFox world leadership production - circa 1946/47.

Wynne davies art from a Columbia Pictures ad from 1932. -
In the U.S. Davies worked on campaigns such as Forbidden Trail, This Sporting Age and Below the Sea for Columbia.

I'd love to see a book focusing on the vintage poster artists, but too little seems to be known on most of them and barely any posters are signed to make proper attribution.

Russ Cochran had some great vintage Tarzan posters. He also had framed an original King Kong 1 sheet
