Auction History Result 8z876 TERRY-TOONS 1sh 1940 cool art of Dinky Duck, Paul Terry , 1945's Aesop's Fable The Watch Dog! Date Sold 8/30/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Terry-Toons, a 1940 stock poster used by theaters that show Terrytoons cartoons. 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. 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.

Important Added Info: 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 "Aesop's Fable The Watch Dog", the 1945 Paul Terry animated cartoon short. Condition: good to very good. The poster has varying amounts of separation in the crossfolds (approximately 2" in the upper crossfold with small paper loss and lesser in the other two, although there are a few inches of vertical separation in the center vertical foldline). It has a few minor blank border defects. It is otherwise in pretty good condition and after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
