Auction History Result 8a0082 SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE S2 poster 2000 best close-up art of western cowboy Buck Jones! Date Sold 3/21/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) South of the Rio Grande, the 1932 Lambert Hillyer south-of-the-border Mexican cowboy western ("Fighting for love and life!"; about a man who seeks to avenge his brother's suicide after a manipulative woman and her accomplice swindle his family!) starring Buck Jones (billed as "Fearless fighting Buck Jones"), Mona Maris, Doris Hill, Philo McCullough, and George J. Lewis. Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! Note that many people consider the one-sheet from this movie (with a striking close up image of Buck Jones with a sombrero against a purple background) to be one of the finest cowboy movie posters ever!

They were acquired by a collector when these posters were first created, and that collector has now consigned them to us. This is a rare opportunity to choose from a large number of these posters at one time, and of course many of them have incredibly striking images (see below for more about these posters). Note that this poster is from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100-year-old lithograph presses, completely refurbished them, and created stone slabs that allowed them to make nearly perfect replicas of classic movie posters (and in some cases making a stone litho version of a poster that was not originally a stone litho!). They were printed in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster). These posters were printed between 1997 and 2003, and were NOT printed when the movies were originally released. Each has super high quality reproduction on quality paper and most measure 27" x 41" (a very few measure smaller and those are clearly noted). (Learn More). IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also had a lower quality 24" x 36" series of one-sheet re-creations that retailed for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The re-creation offered here one of the high quality re-creations this company did, and is a true stone lithograph. It will look incredible on the new owner's wall, and it will sell for a fraction of the cost of the first release poster with the same image. Condition: very good to fine. The S2 are-creation is in excellent condition and it displays quite well!! Learn More about condition grades
