Auction History Result #2370 PARAMOUNT PICTURES linen 1sh 1915 logo Date Sold 8/19/2003Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (29" x 42") (Learn More) Paramount Pictures, the circa 1915 stock poster ("Paramount Pictures Can Be Seen at the Best Theatres in your city"). Originally, Paramount was a not a studio, but was a "releasing program" that was a group of small studios who joined together to have an added advantage releasing their movies under one production name. This poster was created to send to theaters who showed mostly Paramount silent movies in its earliest days. Note that even in 1915, the famous Paramount Pictures logo was virtually identical to what it would be many decades later! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 29" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: good to very good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in good to very good condition. The poster had cracks and small areas of paper loss across the top foldline and down the top center of the poster slightly to the right of center. There was some light brown staining throughout the poster. There were some small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Whoever backed the poster pretty much just backed it as is, doing only minimal restoration, filling in the missing blank paper in the borders, slightly touching up the folds, but not touching up the light stains at all. Still, the poster looks quite nice (to me, the defects are not distracting and help establish that the poster is nearly 90 years old) and I would think most collectors would be happy to display it on their wall!
