An Original Vintage Paperbacked One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 28 1/2" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Paramount Burton Holmes Travel Pictures, the 1910s - 1920s silent travelogue documentary series ("World Famous Traveler") featuring Burton Holmes. Note that Burton Holmes was a famous world traveler. It is estimated that he gave over 8,000 illustrated travel lectures, using slides and motion pictures, from the 1890s to the 1950s. He traveled to every continent and to every country he could, circling the globe six times. Astoundingly, almost all his journeys took place before the invention of the airplane! When Paramount and MGM brought the Burton Holmes series to the big screen in the late 1910s and 1920s, it showed the adventures of the world traveler to audiences across the nation. One-sheets were made for each of these travelogues, but very few survive from any of them! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we never before auctioned this one-sheet! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/2" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkening on the folds that showed in the light background areas and the entire poster had darkened in a lesser amount. It had some minor other border wear and a few tiny areas of paper loss and a few small tears in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was paperbacked with no excess, solely for preservation purposes, but it will still display well on the new owner's wall, or certainly, additional restoration could be performed.
