An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Vertical British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Padre (released in English-speaking countries as "Father"), the 1912 Dante Testa & Gino Zaccaria Italian silent crime arson melodrama (about a businessman seeking to eliminate his competition so he hires a vagabond to set fire to a rival's factory which leads to several deaths and the wrongful imprisonment of the rival, but the rival escapes prison, and in a dramatic turn of events the rival winds up saving the businessman's life in a house fire!) starring Ermete Zacconi, Lidia Quaranta, Dante Testa, Giovanni Casaleggio, and Febo Mari If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: 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. Also 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 poster! 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! Condition: good. The poster has some stains around the edges. It has some light lines in the lower right of the image that are the result of a minor printing defect. It has a jagged 3" tear in the lower right of the image with small paper loss on the tear. After a relatively simple linenbacking the poster will display really well!
