An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-Release (re-titled "The Wanderer" for this re-release) Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Olaf - An Atom, the 1913 Anthony O'Sullivan silent homeless melodrama (about a man who, after his mother dies, leaves his home and becomes a drifter) starring Harry Carey Sr. (in the title role as Olaf), Kate Bruce, Charles Hill Mailes, Claire McDowell, and Donald Crisp NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare! We have only previously auctioned an incomplete three-sheet from the 1920s re-release until we received this 1920s re-release one-sheet. Note that there is considerable misinformation about this movie on the internet. Some sources mistakenly claim that it is a 1913 D.W. Griffith film called The Wanderer, and IMDB even shows this one-sheet on their page for that film. However, that film does not star Harry Carey Sr. This poster is for a 1920s re-titled re-release of Olaf - An Atom, which was distributed by Aywon Film (their business model was to re-titled and re-release earlier films, trying to mislead moviegoers into thinking they were seeing a brand new movie, which no doubt made for angry patrons). Aywon Film tried to make the poster more exciting by having Harry Carey Sr. fighting over a gun on the poster, when in the actual movie he is fighting over his mother's scarf. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was tri-folded only. It had some creases, tears, and paper loss in the lower right of the image, including a 1/2" x 2" area of paper loss near the bottom of Carey's pants. There was much paper loss scattered down the top right of the image, including most of the telephone pole. There were some tears and tiny paper loss scattered in the rest of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did a very nice job, given the poster's defects, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
