Auction History Result 3j0557 TOBOR THE GREAT linen Belgian 1954 man-made funky robot with human emotions & sexy girl, rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 18 1/2" [37 x 47 cm]) (Learn More) Tobor the Great, the 1954 Lee Sholem science fiction (sci-fi) robot fantasy thriller ("Man-made monster with Every human emotion"; about a boy who befriends his grandfather's robot and spies are trying to capture it) starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, Billy Chapin, Taylor Holmes, Steven Geray, Henry Kulky, J. Lewis Smith (in the title role as Tobor), Peter Brocco, Hal Baylor, and Norman Field. Note that many posters show the robot carrying a sexy woman, but that apparently never happens in the movie (he is only seen carrying the boy). In case anyone doubts Hollywood being endlessly creative, note that Tobor's name is "Robot" backwards! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned four examples of this Belgian poster, and the last one was 12 years ago! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/2" x 18 1/2" [37 x 47 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had three horizontal folds near the middle, with some wear on those folds. It had a tear in the top center, extending into the image background. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
