Auction History Result 9t016 HUMPHREY BOGART Colombian '60s Treasure of Sierra Madre, but Maltese Falcon art! Date Sold 9/6/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Colombian Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 39 1/4" [69 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) a circa 1960s Colombian stock poster which theaters used to inform patrons that a Humphrey Bogart movie was playing. It features a great artwork image of Humphrey Bogart, in fedora and smoking, which is clearly taken from The Maltese Falcon, but the poster was used to advertise many different Bogart movies! There is a large blank area at lower left, where theaters could either write in the name of the current movie, or sometimes they would overprint the poster with the name of a specific movie that they were showing. Artist: Cima Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned another example of this poster that had the Spanish title for "Chain Lightning" (another Humphrey Bogart movie) overprinted in the lower left. Something odd about this poster is that the large box at left was clearly left blank so the title could go there, but this distributor chose to overprint the title along the bottom anyway! Also note that we are not sure what country this poster is from! In the past, we have had a few similar posters (in layout and size), and we have called them "Spanish" meaning they are from Spain, but Spanish collectors have e-mailed us that they are definitely NOT from Spain, and some have suggested they might be Brazilian. We have also labeled some of these unknown Spanish language posters as being "South American", and no one has ever been able to zero in on a specific country. We think it is unlikely this poster is from Spain, or for that matter, unlikely that it is from Argentina, Venezuela, or Colombia. If anyone knows more about what country this poster is from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is ink transfer in the light background areas, caused when the poster was folded. There are smudges, tears, pinholes, and some tiny paper loss around the edges.
