Mondo Hazardo and his lovely wife, E Hazardo, stopped by for a visit today on their music and poster tour of the southern U.S.  Frankenstein's monster showed up as well by way of Argentina!  The super antique mall hunter Kev and his wife the Devine Ms. M joined in the fun. A great time was had by all looking at posters, stills, and eating great homemade mushroom lasagna, apple pie, and drinking local brew.

I have actually just watched first episode of the 11th season of The X-files. Looks like at least 2 important people are hiding in Spartanburg...   :D

GREAT looking poster, there, okie. Love the artwork. bed1

I see no fold lines. Has this poster been linen backed? If so, was any other kind of restorative work done to it, as well? It looks to be in fantastic condition.

Hi Eric1925,. Yep, it's on linen and has some touch-up to the fold lines.  It was backed before I got it.

Thanks, Harry!  Used to be some good antique store hunting up your way even for posters now and then.

Hi 110x75, Thanks for the "stunning"!  If you stumble upon a couple of nice Argentinean Frankenstein's or The Mummy, let's get them together!

Looks like a nice job was done. Any idea who the restorer was? Or will he forever be shrowded in mystery?

Hey okie,

I found an image of your same poster online, for BoF.

Are the colors on your copy just as vivid? Or has this image I found been "boosted a bit?"

Yep, this is the exact same poster.  The colors are definitely deep and rich, though looks to me the white on the image you found is "whiter".  The white on the original has a little more cream in it.

Yellowing is common on Argentinean posters. They were printed in shitty paper sadly. Whiteness is due to heritage's photoshop guy... :)

Thanks, okie. Glad to know that the colors are as vibrant and rich as all those years ago. clap clap.

A light tanning of the paper after 83 years would be expected. And I would almost wager that even when new, the paper stock it was printed on was not pure white, anyhow. But more a cream or eggshell color.

Poster images from that era that have be retouched to make the borders look pure, minty white makes them look like modern repros, imho. And when you look at posters that have been restored or had trimmed or missing borders repaired or replaced, the airbrush paint color used always seems to be a light tan/beige/eggshell tint. None are ever sprayed pure white. To me, that would look garish and rather odd.  :o

In looking at the large image I found, those borders are also a nice tan color, and no where near pure white (so at least we know that it wasnt incorrectly tweaked with, "bleached" & whitened in some software program.  whew.gif   thumbsup.gif
