An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Long Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 15" x 40" [38 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

The Sea Beast, the 1926 Millard Webb silent seafaring ocean adventure thriller ("No picture ever had a greater star -No star ever had a greater picture"; "From the story 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville") starring John Barrymore (as Captain Ahab Ceeley), Dolores Costello, George O'Hara, Mike Donlin, Sam Baker (as Queequeeq), and Sojin Kamiyama (as Fedallah). Note that the movie was not called "Moby Dick", and yet it is clearly based on that classic novel, and we don't know why they didn't call it "Moby Dick", unless they worried that people wouldn't know what the movie was about! 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.
