An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 3/4" x 40 3/4" [70 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Americano, the 1916 John Emerson silent romantic adventure comedy ("The fight for the overthrow of the new 'Government' is on..."; "The story of a breezy American mining engineer who gets mixed up in a Central American revolution"; "The story of a breezy American mining-engineer who stops a Central American revolution and becomes Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of Paragonia"; "Supervised by D.W. Griffith"; based on the book Blaze Derringer by Eugene P. Lyle Jr.) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Alma Rubens, Spottiswoode Aitken, Carl Stockdale, Tote Du Crow, "and a notable cast". Note that this movie was released by Triangle in 1916, and there were Triangle movie posters made in 1916. There were also movie posters from "S.A. Lynch Enterprises, Inc.". It is possible that this movie distributed the movie on a states rights basis on its first run in 1916, or it could be from a re-release soon after. In any event, the S.A. Lynch posters are not from the very first release of the movie, because states rights releases occurred after the initial release (which was solely in major cities). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 27 3/4" x 40 3/4" [70 x 104 cm]. Condition: very good. There are small tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the right half of the bottom foldline. There is a 1/2" tear in the right half of the top foldline and a 1" vertical tear in the left of the middle fold. There is a 1/2" tear in the left of the top blank border and in the left of the bottom border. There are faint water stains surrounding the top and bottom crossfolds, and there are a few dot water stains scattered in the poster. While the poster would display just fine as it is (see our super-sized image), it is also true that its defects are both minor and the sort that respond well to restoration, so after simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and likely require almost no paint restoration!
