An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Piccadilly Jim, the 1920 Wesley Ruggles silent romantic comedy ("From the Saturday Evening Post story by P.G. Wodehouse"; about an American newspaper reporter in London, and he falls in love with his English cousin, but she wants no part of him, and then after many adventures, including a kidnapping that they both get involved in, they find true love) starring Owen Moore, Zena Keefe, George Bunny, William T. Hayes and Dora Mills Adams NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a very interesting group of silent one-sheets from the late 1910s and early 1920s that were found under a carpet in a VERY old house! We have no idea why, but at some point in the early 1920s, someone took around 30 one-sheet posters and placed them in a stack under a carpet (perhaps to hide them?). They stayed there undisturbed for the next 75 or so years, until someone ripped up the carpet and found them. MANY OF THE POSTERS HAD SUSTAINED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE, WHILE OTHERS WERE NOT THAT DAMAGED AT ALL. All of these posters absolutely need expert professional restoration (obviously, some will require much more restoration than others), but in many cases, the poster we are offering may well be the only surviving example of that poster, so it would seem they are all well worth "rescuing". But please do not bid on any of these posters unless you have read our description of their condition, and have carefully studied our super-sized image, and unless you are prepared to pay to have the poster properly restored. Note that some of the posters measure different sizes (some may be trimmed) and we have noted their sizes. Condition: poor. This poster is in urgent need of professional restoration! The poster is discolored and there are some areas of paper loss and tears throughout the poster. Please do not bid on this poster unless you are willing to accept its defects or have it restored!
