An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) The Land Unknown, the 1957 Virgil Vogel science fiction (sci-fi) dinosaur jungle fantasy adventure thriller ("Behind A Barrier Of Antarctic Ice... A Paradise of Hidden Terrors!"; "In the vast heart of Antarctica! Science's greatest adventure! Mysterious jungle terrors! Primitive struggle for survival!") starring Jock Mahoney, Shirley Patterson (billed as "Shawn Smith"), William Reynolds, Henry Brandon, Phil Harvey, and Douglas Kennedy NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Ken Sawyer Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. this poster was consigned by a collector who purchased the poster decades ago when it sold for a small amount. He wanted to put it on his wall, so he very carefully put transparent tape on the back of all the foldlines. He put tape on the back of the top edge of the bottom piece, so as to join it to the top piece, and then he also put a line of tape across the front of the poster where the two pieces joined (joining the two parts of the poster together, as intended, and this is the only tape on the front of the poster), and he then thumb tacked the poster to the wall! After a few years, he realized the growing value of the poster, and he carefully removed it from the wall, and stored it rolled ever since. None of the tape used on the back (or the one line of tape on the front) has darkened or bled through, EXCEPT for a single line of tape that he used on the back of the area where the two pieces join (this is very visible in our photo, as it runs around 1" below the word "UNKNOWN" of the title, below the tape that he put on the front). The reason this tape bled through is because he used a different tape for that one area, a tape that was 1 1/2" wide. Apparently, that tape was a kind that aged poorly. Other than the above described tape, the poster is in really nice condition! There is a clean 12" vertical tear in the top left corner of the image caused during rolling and unrolling (easily mendable) and there are a few very tiny tears in the borders, and there were a few tiny tears and tiny holes at the crossfolds that were covered by the tape. If I owned this poster, I would have a top professional remove the tape from the back, and linenback it. It is likely that the single area of bleed-through below the world "UNKNOWN" under the title would require paint restoration, but it is also likely that NONE of the rest of the poster would require any restoration at all. The result would be a poster that looks great with only a tiny strip of restored area! Learn More about condition grades
