Auction History Result f036 SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE S2 recreation one-sheet movie poster 2000 Date Sold 4/22/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) South of the Rio Grande, the 1932 Lambert Hillyer south-of-the-border Mexican cowboy western ("Fighting for love and life!"; about a man who seeks to avenge his brother's suicide after a manipulative woman and her accomplice swindle his family!) starring Buck Jones (billed as "Fearless fighting Buck Jones"), Mona Maris, Doris Hill, Philo McCullough, and George J. Lewis. Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! Note that many people consider the one-sheet from this movie (with a striking close up image of Buck Jones with a sombrero against a purple background) to be one of the finest cowboy movie posters ever! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a poster from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100 year-old lithograph presses, and completely refurbished them, and recreates stone litho printing plates for classic movie posters, and then prints them on the 100 year-old presses, in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster), and exactly 27" x 41"! In some ways they are better, because they are printed on a much higher quality paper (similar to that of a 30x40, but somewhat heavier, and not on a high-gloss coated stock, but a "flat" finish). These posters are printed a few at a time, and they retail for $325 each. If you have never seen one of these in person, you might think they are simply "a reproduction", but they really look incredible in person! Most of us could never hope to have the original of this poster (which sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars!), and this recreation is certainly an attractive and affordable alternative! IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also has a lower quality 24" x 36" series of recreations that retail for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The recreation offered here is the 27" x 41" size with ultra high quality printing. Finally, note that this S2 re-creation comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from "The RE Society Ltd.", stating when the poster was produced, and detailing the methods used. Condition: fine. This S2 re-creation is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
