An Original 1942 (probably from the first Spanish release of this movie) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures 38" x 60" total; actual poster measures 38" x 53"; snipe measures 8 1/2" x 38") (Learn More) Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the classic 1937 David Hand Walt Disney animated animation family romantic fairy-tale fantasy musical cartoon ("His first full length feature production"; "In the Marvelous Multiplane Technicolor"; "Behold The Miracle of the Movies! Coming to amaze you, charm you, thrill you!"; "With Eight new songs as catching as 'The Big Bad Wolf.'"; "To thrill you"; "Merriment!"; "Melody!"; "Magic!"; "The dwarfs sing their marching song on the way to work."; "Walt Disney's first full length feature production"; "The show sensation of the generation!"; "Wondrously filmed in all the glories of the marvelous multiplane Technicolor"; "The Screen's Supreme Thrill! 1,000 artists worked three years to give you this once-in-a-lifetime show!... A full hour and a half of the most enthralling entertainment you ever experienced... truly the miracle in motion pictures!") featuring the voices of Adriana Caselotti (in the title role as Snow White), Harry Stockwell (as the Prince), Lucille La Verne, Moroni Olsen, and Stuart Buchanan. Note that this movie is always referred to as a "1937" movie, but it actually only had a limited opening in December 1937 (no doubt to qualify for the Oscars), and then it had its wide opening in February 1938. But because it is always referred to as being from 1937, we refer to it that way as well (and of course, it is technically correct). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: S. Carrilero Abad Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to say exactly what this poster was advertising. Certainly, Snow White was being shown, and images from that movie dominate the poster but there are also two inset circles at bottom left and bottom right that are clearly from a different cartoon, so it seems likely this poster was advertising some sort of cartoon festival, with Snow White being the featured attraction. The poster has an original paper snipe from 1942 at the bottom, and it seems likely that this would have been the first Spanish showing of Snow White. If anyone has more information about this poster, or when Snow White played in Spain, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that the poster itself measures 38" x 53". There was a 8 1/2" snipe glued to the bottom of the poster, overlapping the bottom border. The person who linenbacked the poster chose to linenback the snipe as well, feeling it is part of the poster, especially given that it shows the date the movie played, and other information. The actual linenbacked poster with the snipe measures 38" x 60". Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had creases and a few tiny tears on some foldlines, and some 1-2" creases and tears running off of some foldlines. There were some creases throughout the poster, and there were creases and tears around the edges of the poster. There is an uneven light red coloring in much of the blank borders, but this appears to be part of the printing. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
