Viaje a la Luna (literally translates to "Trip to the Moon"), the 1958 Fernando Cortes Mexican romantic comedy (about two men who are mistaken for patients of an insane asylum) starring Tin-Tan, Kitty de Hoyos, Ramiro Gamboa (billed as "Gam-Boin"), Sergio Corona, Marco Antonio Campos (billed as "Viruta"), Famie Kaufman (billed as "Vitola"), Alfonso Arau, Gaspar Henaine (billed as "Capulina"), Javier Lopez (billed as "Chabelo"), and Joaquin Garcia Vargas (billed as "Borolas"). It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Artist: Ernesto Garcia Cabral
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster (with great art by Ernesto Garcia Cabral), which is a "country of origin" poster for this Mexican movie, and the last one was 13 years ago!

Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 81 Mexican posters we are currently auctioning (in 81 separate auctions). They include many of the absolute best ones, including many Cabrals, and were assembled by a single collector over many years! This is a rare opportunity to add one or more of these posters to your collection! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 26 3/4" x 36 1/2" [68 x 93 cm].

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pretty minor fold wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. After the poster was backed, it was displayed, and the reds in the poster faded considerably. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame. It appears that the blank borders of the poster were slightly trimmed, either before or after the poster was backed, so bear this in mind before bidding.
