Auction History Result 2z364 MAGIC SHELL linen 1sh '41 Terry-Toons, great cartoon image of rabbits living in a boot! Date Sold 5/4/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Magic Shell, the 1941 Mannie Davis Terry-Toons animated animation cartoon cartoon (produced by Paul Terry). Note that this poster is a 1940 stock poster used by theaters showing Terrytoons cartoons (see below for how this was changed from a stock poster to a poster for this specific cartoon). Note that the poster includes images of many of Paul Terry's cartoon characters at that time, including a very large image of Dinky Duck! Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1940 (there may have been ones from earlier or later years, but we have never encountered them). Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the color posters were printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year (sometimes they would add a single-color image from that cartoon, and sometimes they would put the title in very large letters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. In the case of this particular poster, the title was printed in very large letters, and the cartoon that was advertised was "The Magic Shell", the 1941 Mannie Davis Paul Terry animated cartoon short (even though the posters were printed in 1940, they were still being overprinted in 1941). It seems likely that the advent of World War II caused Terry to stop making a different stock poster for each year, and that they simply re-used the 1940 posters throughout the war.

The poster was folded in half an extra time and there were creases, smudges, and separations on parts of some foldlines and some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
