But never one like this!"; "Kipling's greatest 'Jungle Book' story... Filmed in Asiatic wildernesses that never before revealed their secrets to man!... Telling of the inseparable friendship between a little lad and the biggest elephant the world has ever seen!"; "The picture with a thousand elephants and a million thrills. Photographed in Asiatic jungles never before penetrated! Acted by the Maharajah's own hunters!"; "Based on the novel 'Toomai of the Elephants' by Rudyard Kipling"; produced by Alexander Korda) starring Sabu Dastagir (as Toomai; in his first movie!), W.E. Holloway, Walter Hudd, Allan Jeyes, and Bruce Gordon NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this three-sheet! Not only that, but all first release poster from this classic movie are extremely rare. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Finally, note this three-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with three-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded three-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 13" x 30", so they cost more to send than regularly folded three-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Condition: good to very good. The poster was kraftbacked (see above). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition with tiny pinholes around the edges. It can certainly be removed from the kraftbacking and linenbacked and afterwards it would display wonderfully! Learn More about condition grades
