Auction History Result 9g053 TEXAS BAD MAN linen Danish R30s wonderful stone litho art of cowboy Tom Mix with two guns! Date Sold 8/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) The Texas Bad Man, the 1932 Edward Laemmle cowboy western starring Tom Mix, Tony (Mix's horse), Lucille Powers, Fred Kohler, Willard Robertson, Joseph Girard, Bob Milasch, and Franklyn Farnum. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! 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 when this movie was first released in Denmark, it was on a double bill with a nature film called "Cougar". This poster lacks the yellow background from that poster, and does not have the information about the second feature. It seems likely it is from a secondary release of the movie by itself, surely from between 1935 and 1940, at which point Denmark was occupied by the Nazis, and American movies no longer played there. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some small tears down the left blank border and a partial horizontal crease near the center. It had a light stain in the top right corner in the white area. Someone mounted it onto a very thin linen with no excess and performed no restoration (but it displays great just as it is). Learn More about condition grades
