An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Black Gold, the 1927 Richard E. Norman silent black African American oil exploration romantic cowboy western ("Thrilling epic of the Oil Fields"; "A Story of the Texas Oil Fields"; "Action! Love! Thrills!"; "One of the true stories of living colored examples."; "A Stirring epic of the Oil Fields"; "Produced by Norman Studios, Arlington, FLA."; "With An All-Colored Cast"; "All Colored Cast"; "The sensational western is here") starring Lawrence Criner, Kathryn Boyd, Steve Reynolds ("Peg"), L.B. Tatums, Alfred Norcom, and "the entire All-Colored City of Tatums, Oklahomo [sic]". Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that Richard E. Norman, who was a white man, not only produced this film but also directed it even though he is not credited on the poster or IMDb. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that the poster is slightly tattered in the borders and that there are some small stains. There is separation at the left and right ends of the bottom foldline. Other than the above basically minor defects, the poster is in pretty good condition, especially considering its age. Note that someone handwrote across the bottom blank border, "BOYNTON COLORED SCHOOL ONE NIGHT ONLY THURSDAY FEB. 25th". Some might consider this a detraction, and have it painted over during restoration, but I think it clearly adds to the poster!

Condition: very good.
