Auction History Result 2a0264 ANOTHER NEW PARAMOUNT TALKARTOON S2 poster 2002 Betty Boop w/ Koko the Clown, Bimbo and baby! Date Sold 4/17/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Another New Paramount Talkartoon, the 1932 Fleischer Studios animated animation cartoon. Note that this poster features Fleischer's two biggest cartoon stars at this time, Betty Boop and Koko the Clown, along with Koko's sidekicks Bimbo the dog, and a baby (it would be a couple more years before Popeye would be introduced, and would eclipse both of these great early cartoon stars). It is rare to find cartoon posters that feature more than one major cartoon character on the same poster! Note too, that this poster pre-dates Betty Boop's individual cartoon series. She was introduced in the Paramount Talkartoon series, and quickly became so popular that she was given her own cartoon series. It is therefore quite possible that this poster is the first known depiction of Betty Boop on any movie poster, and quite possibly is the first movie poster on which she was ever depicted! Note that the poster is undated, but it has a litho number, and comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1932! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100-year-old lithograph presses, completely refurbished them, and created stone slabs that allowed them to make nearly perfect replicas of classic movie posters (and in some cases making a stone litho version of a poster that was not originally a stone litho!). They were printed in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster). These posters were printed between 1997 and 2003, and were NOT printed when the movies were originally released. Each has super high quality reproduction on quality paper and most measure 27" x 41" (a very few measure smaller and those are clearly noted). (Learn More). IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also had a lower quality 24" x 36" series of one-sheet re-creations that retailed for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The re-creation offered here one of the high quality re-creations this company did, and is a true stone lithograph. It will look incredible on the new owner's wall, and it will sell for a fraction of the cost of the first release poster with the same image. Finally, note that this S2 poster includes a certificate of authenticity from the S2 Art Group (see our images). This "S2 Re-Creation Movie Poster" is one of 49 S2 posters in eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction. There are a total of 43 of the S2 one-sheet size posters, and 6 of the S2 three-sheet size posters. See above for more about how and when these posters were created. This represents a high percentage of all the S2 movie posters that were made, and most were obtained by our consignor when the posters were first created in the late 1990s and very early 2000s. This is a great opportunity to purchase any (or several) of these posters, which have wonderful printing quality and which look incredible on your wall, at a tiny fraction of the cost of the originals! Condition: fine. The S2 poster is in excellent condition and it displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
