An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/4" x 41") (Learn More) A Dip in the Water, the 1915 Allan Curtis silent comedy short ("Joker"; "Universal Moving Pictures") starring Max Asher, Gale Henry, William Franey, Milburn Morante Lillian Peacock, and Arthur Moon If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster came from an amazing find of 1915 posters that was made many years ago! Each of the posters had been linenbacked onto a thin linen (a common practice at that time, because the thin linen helped the posters survive better when they passed from theater to theater), and each of the posters were placed in an individual envelope, and then stored away for many decades (apparently, they were intended to be kept as samples of the posters that were printed, but the original purpose of storing them is lost to history!). When the poster were discovered, each was in remarkable condition, about as nice as any 1915 posters known to exist. Apparently, the thin linen did not age in the slightest, and the posters have the most minor of wear! Of course, there are the foldlines in the linen and the poster, but they are no more significant than foldlines on regular folded posters. If one wished, one could have the poster removed from the thin linen and backed onto a new linen backing, but there is certainly no need to do this, as it will display wonderfully just as it is, and obviously, the thin linen is not in the slightest harmful to the poster. Condition: fine. There are tiny tears and separation at the crossfolds and very minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster has survived about as well as one could possibly hope, given that it is 93 years old! Learn More about condition grades
