Auction History Result B260 PARAMOUNT BURTON HOLMES TRAVEL PICTURES linen 1sh '18 Fiji Does Its Bit Date Sold 3/16/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Paramount Burton Holmes Travel Pictures, the 1910s - 1920s silent travelogue documentary series ("World Famous Traveler") featuring Burton Holmes. Note that Burton Holmes was a famous world traveler. It is estimated that he gave over 8,000 illustrated travel lectures, using slides and motion pictures, from the 1890s to the 1950s. He traveled to every continent and to every country he could, circling the globe six times. Astoundingly, almost all his journeys took place before the invention of the airplane! When Paramount and MGM brought the Burton Holmes series to the big screen in the late 1910s and 1920s, it showed the adventures of the world traveler to audiences across the nation. One-sheets were made for each of these travelogues, but very few survive from any of them! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster shows a man holding a bunch of Fijian bananas (which were probably quite exotic in 1919 and unavailable to most Americans)! Condition: very good. This poster was well restored, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The entire poster had darkened quite a bit. The borders were slightly tattered and they have had some paint restoration to even them out. The image area was in nice condition prior to linenbacking.
