An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26" x 39 3/4" [66 x 101 cm]) (Learn More)

White Tiger, the 1923 Tod Browning (who also wrote the story!) silent crime suspense con man fantasy melodrama (about a trio, consisting of two men and the pretend daughter of one of them, who display a "chess playing robot" to rich people, and while those people are amazed, they rob them!) starring Priscilla Dean, Wallace Beery, Matt Moore, Raymond Griffith (as the man inside the robot suit), Alfred Allen, Emmett King, and Lillian Langdon. Note that the chess playing robot in the movie is actually one of the con men in a robot suit! This was clearly inspired by the "Automaton" that was exhibited in Europe in the 1830s, and was proven to be a fraud!

Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned eight lobby cards from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this one-sheet! Also note that this one-sheet measures 26" x 39 3/4" [66 x 101 cm], but it has not been trimmed.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had pretty minor wear on the folds. It had a V-shaped tear with tiny paper loss in the face of the man at top center, but it did not affect his features. It had a U-shaped tear at the middle of the poster and a 3" tear in the right border. It had stains down the right side, but mostly in the blank border, with a few stains in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Some amateur mounted this poster onto a thin linen and they apparently then attached the excess linen to a stretcher, displaying the poster like an oil painting. If I owned this extremely rare poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen, and since many of the defects are in the blank borders, it would not be a complicated restoration, and after it was done, the poster will display really well, but bear all of the above in mind before bidding.
