Auction History Result 6y0216 POPEYE CARTOON linen 1sh 1943 Paramount animation, great art of him c/u & eating spinach, rare! Date Sold 12/22/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Popeye Cartoon, the 1943 Paramount Pictures stock poster created for theaters showing Popeye animation animated cartoons. Theaters would order one of these posters and then display it when they showed a Popeye cartoon along with their features. The poster had a blank area in Popeye's forearm, where studio-issued snipes could be glued (or a theater could write in the name of a cartoon in that area). Note that Paramount sadly looked to save money on its Popeye posters in the 1940s, and instead of making an individual one for every cartoon, they made a color stock poster in 1941, and then this 2-color stock poster in 1943, and a full-color stock poster in 1950. They also made a 2-color stock poster in 1949 called "Popeye Cartoon Carnival". 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 two examples of this one-sheet! Also note that this 1943 stock poster is surprisingly rare, perhaps it was because it was during the middle of World War II, and few survived the paper drives. Usually, stock posters like this are found either blank, with the name of a short written in by hand, or with a printed snipe glued on. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the middle crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had separation tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss scattered down the vertical fold and separation and some tiny bits of paper loss in parts of the horizontal folds. It had some pinholes and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was linenbacked decades ago, and the poster was displayed and darkened over the years, which made the restoration paint that was used on the top horizontal fold and on part of the vertical fold stand out far more than it did when it was first backed. If I owned this poster, I would surely have a restorer perform additional restoration to it, either with or without re-backing the poster (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
