An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The New MGM CinemaScope Cartoons starring Tom & Jerry, the 1955 cat-and-mouse chase animated animation cartoon comedy stock poster ("Funniest of them all!") promoting Tom & Jerry cartoons. Theaters would order this poster, and then display it whenever they showed a Tom & Jerry cartoon, thus getting to re-use the same poster over and over. Note that I have long been aware that in the early 1950s, MGM made "stock" Tom & Jerry posters that had a blank area at the bottom (sometimes overprinting them with names of specific shorts, and sometimes leaving them blank), but until 2007, when I first auctioned this poster, I was unaware that MGM EVER made this stock poster for Tom & Jerry cartoons, which has no blank area, and has a really great image of Tom & Jerry performing on stage, doffing their hats, with large shadows on the wall behind them! 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 once previously auctioned this wonderful stock poster, and that was in 2007, and it was an unbacked example, and it auctioned for $787! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a thin strip of paper loss across the entire top horizontal fold and a similar strip of paper loss, but thinner, across the bottom horizontal fold. It had minor wear on the other folds and some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
