Auction History Result 3t071 MAN OF ARAN pressbook '34 Robert Flaherty, great images of Irish fisherman Colman King! Date Sold 12/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18 1/2" [30 x 47 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Man of Aran, the classic 1934 Robert J. Flaherty English Ireland fisherman fishing sea documentary ("Robert Flaherty's saga of the sea"; about the very difficult lives faced by the people of the Aran Islands, off the coast of Ireland, and how they make their living fishing) starring Colman King, Maggie Dirrane, Michael Dirrane, Pat Mullin, and Patch Ruadh. Of course, Robert Flaherty is perhaps the most legendary documentary filmmaker of all time, and his most famous documentary was "Nanook of the North"! Note that this classic documentary opened in England in April of 1934, and then apparently premiered in New York in October of 1934, but was apparently given a wide release by Fox Films at the start of 1935 (soon after, Fox merged with 20th Century, so it had to be early 1935). Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the most highly regarded documentaries ever, but first release movie paper from it is incredibly rare! We have never had an English language item from it before (we had a single Argentinean poster), but now that we have had this pressbook, we know what the U.S. posters look like, thanks to the poster page (see our image). Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There is paper loss and tears at the top of all pages, but only blank paper is affected. There is separation at the right end of the fold, and someone put a piece of tape on the center of the spine. The this extremely rare pressbook is quite fragile, but it is all there!
