An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Hansom Cabman, the 1924 Harry Edwards silent romantic marriage screwball comedy short ("Harry Doolittle had always longed to see his name in print."; produced by Mack Sennett; about a groom who wakes up with a hangover in a strange room with a woman who says that he married her last night but she is not his fiancee!) starring Harry Langdon, Andy Clyde, Marceline Day, Madeline Hurlock, Charlotte Mineau, and Leo Sulky NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Pathe for use by theaters showing their 1920s Mack Sennett movies. Theaters would order this
poster, which had a large blank area at bottom right. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie,
and sometimes they were sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in
each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors
consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area (this poster was overprinted with the title "Hansom Cabman"). Note that, because this is a "stock" poster that was used for all Mack Sennett shorts, the image is NOT of any particular
Sennett comedy star, but instead is a great stone litho image of a bunch of sexy girls wearing what were then incredibly skimpy costumes! Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Learn More about condition grades
