NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, movie studios made silk burgees (also called silk banners) for most major releases. These were printed on a silk (or silk-like) material, sometimes with a gold fringe at the bottom, and usually with an opening at the top through which a wooden pole could be inserted, usually with a rope attached to both ends of the pole, so that the burgee could be hung from a nail at the theater. Few silk burgees are known to survive (we have only auctioned around a dozen of them in our many years of auctioning), and many collectors are not even aware of their existence! We have just been consigned a remarkable find of TWENTY THREE of these silk banners! That is double the amount we auctioned in all our previous 25 years of auctioning. Each of these 23 silk banners are currently at auction individually. This is a very rare opportunity to purchase one or many of this extremely rare size of original 1930s and 1940s movie posters! Condition: very good. The banner has many light creases scattered throughout, more so around the edges. There are a few tiny brown stains in the bottom center. Otherwise, the banner is in surprisingly nice condition. Note that banners like these are extremely rare (see above) and the few that survive often have deterioration in the silk or in the fringe, and sometimes the pole is missing or damaged. Some of this collection of 23 silk banners that this banner was found with have survived in better condition than the majority of the similar silk banners we have seen in the past.
