An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Simba: The Lion War of A Lumbwa Tribe, the 1928 Martin E. Johnson African jungle safari documentary ("4 years to make 2 hours to show"; "Produced by the Martin Johnson African Expedition Corp"; "Direct from the record breaking run at the Earl Carroll Theatre .. New York") starring Martin Johnson and Osa Johnson (they are billed as "Mr. & Mrs. Johnson"). Note that Osa Johnson was married to Martin Johnson, and that they made African documentary movies for 20 years, but Martin Johnson was killed in 1937 during the filming of "Borneo", but his wife finished the movie and released it after his death, and she also released one final movie, "I Married Adventure", in 1940, three years after her husband's death, and on that movie, she was billed as "Osa Johnson (Mrs. Martin Johnson)". Note that this was one of the two dozen or so movies that the Johnsons made between 1912 and 1928, but very little first release movie paper survives on any of them.

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There is darkening and faint staining scattered in the card (see our image). Still, a restorer could certainly rescue this card. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
