Auction History Result 4j0280 AFRICAN HOLIDAY 3sh 1937 Mr. & Mrs. Harry Pearson, big game hunters with natives, very rare! Date Sold 6/6/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) African Holiday, the 1937 Harry C. Pearson Africa safari hunting expedition documentary ("Photographed in Africa by Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Pearson") narrated by Harry C. Pearson. The Pearsons were a married couple who got the idea to take a massive trip all over the African continent, and to film their travels. When they returned after seven months in Africa (having traveled over 5,000 miles and covering almost the entire continent), they assembled their footage into this documentary! During their travels, they saw pygmies and Latukas (who averaged over seven feet tall!), and many very rare animals. We don't know what else this remarkable couple accomplished in their lifetime, because we could not find other information about them, but it appears that this is their only movie, so they are not like the other famous married couples that made African movies (like Armand Denis and his two wives, and Martin Johnson and his wife Osa). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this three-sheet, and they sold for $421 and $368! Our consignor discovered three examples of this poster, and now we are auctioning the third and final example, and it may be many years before we auction this poster again, because until the discovery of these three posters, we had only auctioned lobby cards, but no other posters. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good. The poster is fragile and it has tiny tears and small areas of paper loss on parts of the borders and folds (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
