Auction History Result 1t321 CHARLIE CHAPLIN linen 1sh 1910s art of Charlie Chaplin smoking cigar, The Thief Catcher! Date Sold 9/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1910s Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 42" [69 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chaplin, the 1910s stock poster used to promote re-releases of Chaplin movies and shorts. Chaplin was so popular in the 1910s that virtually every theater made an effort to include at least one of his shorts on their program, because it made such a difference in the attendance! We have seen other auctions misidentify these posters are being from 1914 first releases, but they are absolutely not. Still, these stock posters are incredibly rare themselves, so this is one of the only ways to obtain a 1910s Charlie Chaplin poster! They can also be somewhat duplicitous because they would promote a short as starring Chaplin when he might actually be just an uncredited character with little screen time! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 42" [69 x 107 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was slightly trimmed on the left and right blank borders, to bring the poster to 27" wide from the original 28" (1/2" was trimmed from each blank border, and only blank white paper was affected). It was folded in half an extra time and it had small or tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had some tears around the edges (some of which had been repaired with tape from the back). It had a small area of circular paper loss in the left of the top foldline in the white background area. It had some writing on the back of the top center that slightly bled through in the white background area to the right of Chaplin. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! The restorer did not replace the slight missing blank white paper on the left or right. Learn More about condition grades
