An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #3 (Stolen Evidence) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) King of the Circus, the 1920 J.P. McGowan Universal silent circus adventure serial ("Oh, Boy! What A Thriller!!"; "The Greatest Serial of All Time"; "It's a Universal!") starring Eddie Polo, Corrine Porter, Kittoria Beveridge, Harry Madison, Charles Fortune, and J.P. McGowan. Note that oddly we could not find anything about this serial, beyond the cast. The rare one-sheets we have auctioned have great images, both with circus themes and with underwater chase scenes, so we would love to know more about this serial. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this is a "lost" serial film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this chapter 3 one-sheet, and the buyer of that example had the poster linenbacked and restored, and they have now reconsigned it to us, so this is STILL the only example we have ever auctioned! We are also currently auctioning a chapter 10 one-sheet in a separate auction. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny separation at the other two crossfolds. It had 2" of separation at the top of the vertical fold and 1" at the bottom. It had minor wear on the rest of the folds, some creases in the left and right borders and a few smudges and small tears around the edges. But otherwise, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
