Holy Cow, Jeff stats the month off. With my affinity and past in Japan I fight all the time to not start to pick up pieces for these kinds of movies though I know I will one day. Congrats, nice score.

I tend to like hand painted movie posters, but the Japanese ones fancy me because of how many times they use collage in their design.

Thanks, all.

Yeah Mike..im the same way, normally, too, usually being more drawn to created imagery rather than photographic. But I also love the Japanese calligraphy, and if it's done and made to look like brushwork, it can add such an artistic element to these kinds of posters, too, imo.

Nice pickups everyone! And we are barely a day into June! I especially like the Follow the Fleet too.

Here are a couple more Mexican posters by Jose Espert (had a bit of an Espert streak lately): El dolor de los hijos (1949) and Cuando lloran los valientes (1947)

And the next acquisition isn't a movie poster, but I can't resist sharing it here anyway.  The Mexican artist Arias Bernal designed some great movie posters in the '40s, and I've shared a few photos before including "Fantasia Ranchera" and "Romeo y Julieta".

He was also a noted caricaturist and political cartoonist, and produced propaganda posters during WWII.

Near the end of the war, he produced an album of lithographs with artwork for a full set of playing cards, with each card having unique caricature artwork relating to the war.

And the complete album arrived on my doorstep today!  I'll share just a few examples here. Perhaps I'll post more in a different thread. I guess there isn't a dedicated propaganda section but I'll find a place.

These are amazing. Can we see all the playing card images somewhere please? What size are the lithos? Is there any artwork for the reverse of the cards?

Agreed. The Franco (Spanish) and the Hitler are quite amusing. Bernal was a great artist -and great posters too Deke :)

Very cool stuff.  Also looking forward to seeing more. There are a few propaganda threads under advertising.

The Swedish poster is pure class, the Mexican posters are beautiful as always, and the playing cards are amazing.  I thought my Shaw Brothers playing cards were cool but those take the cake...I must seek them out!

I got lucky recently and found this beauty at a swap meet in Santa Monica, CA.

It was the swap meet at the Santa Monica airport. Different than most swap meets I see, very cool stuff there.  I got lucky with that one.
