An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, the 1950 Byron Haskin English/U.S. Walt Disney family historical pirate adventure thriller ("Greatest Adventure of All!"; "a young cabin boy, a roguish buccaneer... match wits in a swashbuckling adventure!"; "A great Action picture Alive with excitement!"; "Walt Disney captures every heart-rushing thrill of fiction's mightiest adventure!"; from the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson) starring Bobby Driscoll ("as Jim Hawkins"), Robert Newton ("as Long John Silver"), Basil Sydney ("as Captain Smollett"), Walter Fitzgerald, and Denis O'Dea. Note that this movie included sequences involving many sailing ships, but the budget did not allow for construction of enough ships, so several extra ships were judiciously added using matte paintings!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this first release one-sheet, and only one in the last 15 years!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The entire poster had darkened somewhat. It had pretty minor fold wear. It had paper loss in the bottom center that eliminated an NSS paragraph with tiny text at bottom center, and slightly touched some of the credits above it. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer did a pretty good job linenbacking it, but they did not address the darkening, and they did not attempt to recreate the missing NSS paragraph.
