Snow's Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera, the 1922 H.A. Snow & Sidney Snow silent Africa hunting sports animal documentary ("Nothing like it on Earth!"; "Biggest of all shows"; "2 years of adventures squeezed into 2 hours of thrills"; "See what the camera caught!"; "'A devastating stampede of trumpeting elephants charging the camera.'"; "'A ferocious leopard hurls itself at the dauntless picture-hunters.'"; "'An enraged rhinoceros charges headlong into the eye of the camera.'"; "'An astounding spectacle of a troop of elephants in the crater of an extinct volcano.'"; "'Hundreds of marvelous impala in their flight actually leap over the highest trees.'"; "'Disturbed with her cubs a man-eating lioness caught in a 10 foot close-up.'"; "'The wart-hog, the pansy bone-head of the forest, charges into the flivver with unexpected results - and for once the Ford isn't rattled.'"; "The sensation of a hundred thrilling pictures condensed into one marvelous entertainment"; "Presented by Carl Laemmle") featuring H.A. Snow, and Sidney Snow. Note that the father/son team of H.A. Snow and Sidney Snow were inspirations for the character of Carl Denham in King Kong. Also, biologist and nature photographer Carl Akeley denounced this film for misrepresenting Africa and for faking some scenes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this early Africa documentary is incredibly rare. We have auctioned some lobby cards, but no other movie paper from it until we were consigned this three-sheet. Note that the three-sheet has wonderful taglines throughout, and even though it has no illustrations, we can't imagine anyone seeing it in 1922 who would not want to see the movie as soon as possible after reading the text on it! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds and in the borders, and someone put some tape on the back of the tears, but otherwise, the poster has had no restoration. It also has pinholes around the edges and just a few small stains (most on the portion of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. Overall, it has survived in about as good condition as one could probably hope, especially considering it is 96 years old! Learn More about condition grades
