An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock posters used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and this poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the mid 1940s, when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. Note that it appears that the middle 1930s Lone Star John Wayne movies were very popular and desired by theaters right after they were made, and that Lone Star likely created this stock poster soon after John Wayne made "Blue Steel", because the image on this stock poster is the same as that on the first release "Blue Steel" one-sheet, except that it does not have full credits at the bottom and the title is in a "block" font. We have seen stock posters like this for "Blue Steel" and "Randy Rides Alone", and there are likely ones for the other Lone Star titles as well. Yet the first release one-sheets for those movies are beyond rare (some of them are impossible to find), and these stock one-sheets are themselves also rare (only a few of each have surfaced).

Important Added Info: Note that we think that this poster was likely created in 1934, but it may have been from soon after that. We think there is no chance that it is from the 1940s or later, and virtually no chance that it is from the late 1930s. If anyone knows more about the exact date of this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the top half of the vertical fold and in the left half of the middle horizontal fold. It had minor wear on the other folds and pinholes in the corners, with some tiny bits of paper loss in the upper right blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
