An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41 1/2" [71 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Paramount Burton Holmes Travel Pictures, the 1910s - 1920s silent travelogue documentary series ("World Famous Traveler") featuring Burton Holmes. Note that Burton Holmes was a famous world traveler. It is estimated that he gave over 8,000 illustrated travel lectures, using slides and motion pictures, from the 1890s to the 1950s. He traveled to every continent and to every country he could, circling the globe six times. Astoundingly, almost all his journeys took place before the invention of the airplane! When Paramount and MGM brought the Burton Holmes series to the big screen in the late 1910s and 1920s, it showed the adventures of the world traveler to audiences across the nation. One-sheets were made for each of these travelogues, but very few survive from any of them! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and that was 17 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us after all these years, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41 1/2" [71 x 105 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good.
