An Original 1940s Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More)

one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good to very good. There are two small pieces out in Wayne's upper lip with a piece of clear tape over them. There are several tack holes in the edges of the image background. There are several small tears in the borders. There is some minor scuffing at the top crossfold. There is tiny separation at the bottom crossfold. There was a jagged 4" tear in the lower left corner (repaired with tape from the back). There is some creasing in the left border. There are several pieces of tape on the back of the poster (mostly in the foldlines) that have no effect on the front.
