Auction History Result #069 BOTTOM OF THE WORLD linen 1sh '30 Date Sold 11/20/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Bottom of the World, the 1930 South Pole expedition documentary ("Sea Elephants in desperate love battle!"; "An all-talking picture"; "Humor Drama Thrills"; "The most thrilling action ever photographed") featuring Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy. Note that this is a very interesting movie! It was distributed by "Talking Picture Epics", which was a company that was apparently only in business from around 1930 to 1931 or so, and during that time, they distributed really odd sounding documentaries to exotic locations! In addition to this movie, they also distributed "Monsters of the Deep", "Across the World with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson", and others, but we strongly suspect that these were not actual movies, but were rather re-titlings of other movies, or possibly compilations from earlier movies (for example, "The Bottom of the World" sounds suspiciously like "With Byrd at the South Pole", and "Across the World with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson" sounds like it would have been a compilation of Osa and Martin Johnson's earlier jungle documentaries). It is quite possible that the only thing that made these "talking pictures" was that a narration was added. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster has images of penguins and walruses! Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed. If you are not knowledgeable about restoration, Click HERE to learn about linenbacking. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had minimal restoration, mostly in the blank borders. There is a fine line of tiny surface paper loss near the middle of the poster (between the "TT" of "BOTTOM"), that is not distracting. Learn More about condition grades
