Auction History Result 6c0024 CAUGHT vertical British quad 1912 wacky art of woman's lover hiding in cupboard, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Vertical British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Caught, the 1912 David Aylott English silent police crime slapstick comedy short. Note that one source says that the film is about a cook's policeman lover who hides in a cupboard and catches a burglar, but another source claims it's about a policeman who is having wacky hallucinations! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we were consigned this vertical British quad poster (which is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie!). Also note that few people know that in the early days of British quads, they were originally in a vertical format (but they measured 30" x 40", just as they continue to do throughout the years). This is because so few of them survive, almost surely because of the massive paper shortages in England during World War II! At some point in the 1950s, they changed orientation to be horizontal, and they have remained that way to the present day. Finally note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II English poster! Virtually no English posters survive from the 1940s or earlier, because during World War II there were many paper shortages resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Finally note that this poster was folded at one time, but it has been stored flat, and because it is somewhat fragile we are not refolding it and it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There are tears and areas of paper loss scattered down the right border and in the left of the bottom border, but otherwise the poster has survived in just about as nice a condition as one could hope from a 112 year old poster!
