(Learn More) White Hunter, the 1936 Irving Cummings Africa big game hunting romantic jungle adventure thriller (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about a big game hunter guide who is unknowingly hired by the man who killed his father, and he seeks revenge, but he falls in love with the man's daughter, which complicates things) starring Warner Baxter, June Lang, Gail Patrick, Alison Skipworth, Wilfred Lawson, and George Hassell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we were recently consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). Now we continue to auction pressbooks from this collection, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, we are solely auctioning larger pressbooks, mostly 14" x 17" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s can't be found in great condition, and some of them are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have many images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two window cards, four lobby cards, and a single 11x14 still from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this pressbook! Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. This extremely large pressbook (see above for its exact measurements) is complete and uncut, and it was folded once in each direction. The covers are separated at the spine. There is paper loss in the top center of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
