I wish someone could get the story of how these great 1934 unbacked posters came to market.

I wish someone could get the story of how these great 1934 unbacked posters came to market.

Which others? I'm curious....

[Starling]

Which others? I'm curious....

Heritage has like 7 unbacked pristine posters from 1934 in this auction (thin man, bolero, spitfire, riptide, and a few more).

Beautiful unbacked posters everyone. Which is rare for a 1934 poster.

Very curious what this breathtaking Scarlet Empress will bring once the bidding brawl ends:



My bet? 16.5K.....

In looking at the super sized image of this poster, specifically Dietrich, it almost looks like her face is a photo (the base image) that was then retouched /embellished with all that beautiful color, and with the added drawn elements around her head and elsewhere on the lower parts of the poster. (1930s version of photoshopping  ). From the smaller image, I thought it was stone lithography.

Here's a detail of just her face. It was the look of her eyes which made me think this:

One would think that would be an incredibly low price for this piece.
It is easily better (and more important) than Song of Songs and should bring Morocco-level type money and bidding.
(especially considering there are several Morocco one-sheets known, while this might well be unique).

[erik1925]

Up to $14,700+ with a little over an hour to go.

Might 70MM swoop in for the kill? 

[erik1925]

Currently at $4500.00 - just the cover of the pressbook for Bride of Frank. I wonder if it will go any higher?

How about posting a pic of yours?

How about posting a pic of yours?

is it going to look different?

 

[Simes]

Yes, that is the problem with many main stream posters on sites such as these.  The images are already rather well known.

To this end, I would 'say' I have bought a Russia quad, but if anything unusual pops up, I would thus pop it up.  To wit, I have some very unusual South African lobby cards for Russia coming soon.  And these will be added to this site.

Rich, expect a visit from one or more of my pals to "deal" with your rudeness:

[ddilts399]

Damn bond collectors... does it say November.. November 6.. Coming Soon .. or 2 days after tomorrow on the bottom of the poster, and is the first letter capital or lower case 

[Simes]

That might be addressed to me....ahem.

Never envisioned this sublime MP coming up for auction and with such a low HA estimate ($3-6K, presumably due to its "Good" rating). Art by Alberto Vargas:
