An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Film Festival Poster (measures 21" x 28 1/4") (Learn More)

A Wonderful Animated or Moving Picture Exhibition, the circa 1900s poster advertising a very early silent film exhibition to celebrate "the greatest invention of the age", the "Optigraph Moving Picture Machine" sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. and features much information about the scenes that were shown including the U.S. procuring The Philippines, The Landrones, Hawaii, and 'Porto Rio'. Articles suggest that this show used both "Magic Lantern" and motion picture technology.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded and has some tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, but it is not at all fragile. Given that it is well over 100 years old, we think it has survived in about as fine condition as one could hope!
