An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Sinbad the Sailor, the 1935 Ub Iwerks ComiColor animated animation cartoon comedy short (Sinbad goes to a desert island and meets pirates with an amazing treasure; a parrot helps him take the treasure back to his ship). After being instrumental in the creation of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks (full name Ubbe Iwerks) was hired away from Disney by P.A. Powers of Celebrity Productions to create a series of cartoons based on classic fairy tales (Iwerks was able to be hired away, both because he did not share in the financial rewards that Disney obtained from his work on Mickey Mouse and other early Disney characters, and also because Iwerks was barely credited for his work). Iwerks not only drew the ComiColor cartoons, but he also drew the one-sheets (and a 4-card full-color lobby card set) created to promote each of them. Unfortunately, this series of cartoons did not perform well at the box office, and late in the series, they switched from individual one-sheets for each cartoon to a stock poster with different titles printed in the middle. After 25 cartoons, Powers folded Celebrity Productions and Iwerks was forced to return to Disney. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss and tiny tears on parts of many folds, more so on the bottom horizontal fold. It had tears and paper loss around the edges. It had significant staining scattered throughout, which the restorer was able to mostly remove through chemical means. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking (primarily because of the staining). The poster was really well backed by a talented professional, and it displays well, but you can see signs of the restoration when you look at it from very close up. Learn More about condition grades
