An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Aesop's Fables ("Aesop's Film Fables"), the 1921 - 1933 Paul Terry silent family animation animated cartoon short series ("Aesop's Fables Modernized"; "The funniest animated cartoons by Paul Terry"; "'Sugar coated pill's of wisdom"; based on Aesop's Fables). Note that Paul Terry started this series in 1921, and it was very popular throughout the 1920s. In 1928, he made "Dinner Time", which was the very first sound cartoon! In 1929, Terry had a falling out with the producers, and he left the series, but they continued making it without him at Van Beuren Studios, where it continued (distributed by RKO/Pathe) until 1933. Note that in 1921, when this series started, Paul Terry made a stock poster for this film series that had a blank area at top below the "Aesop's Film Fables" title that could be overprinted with the names of specific cartoons. We have seen that poster both overprinted and with the top area blank. We know that starting in 1922, Terry also produced individual posters for each entry in the series (with cartoon art relating to each cartoon), but they continued to print stock posters (some overprinted), no doubt for frugal theater owners wanting to save money! Artist: Michelson Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, this is a stock poster that was likely printed in 1921, when this series began, but we know that such stock posters were used for at least the next few years, so we are putting the date as "1920s", because we can't know for certain which year it is from. This particular poster was NOT overprinted with a specific title (we have seen others that were overprinted for 1924 shorts). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some small tears and tiny paper loss scattered on parts of some folds, with some tears and tape stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A really talented restorer did a wonderful job backing and restoring the poster, and it displays wonderfully, and I can't imagine a collector who would not be happy to have this wonderful poster on the wall!
