Auction History Result Lot #: JW 105 JOHN WAYNE 1sh '40s great full-length image of John Wayne, Paradise Canyon!  Date Sold 7/10/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Appears in John Wayne Movie Posters at Auction CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Original 1940s Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) 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 one-sheets 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 one 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 late 1940s (probably 1947), 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. tears in the face of the Wayne image at lower left separation at the crossfolds and at the ends of the foldlines (repaired with tape from the back); paper loss in the lower right and upper left corners (filled in with paper tape); many creases, smudges, and small tears across the bottom foldline and, to a lesser extent, on the other foldlines; small circle of paper loss near the top of the vertical foldline; many pinholes, tears, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster. While this poster does of course have many clear defects, it could be "rescued" with linenbacking by a talented restorer. There is little actual paper loss, and after restoration, it could look great! Learn More about condition grades
