LAND OF PROMISE (1913) LAND OF PROMISE (1913) Italian misc OR search current auctions Auction History Result 6f0224 LAND OF PROMISE Italian 40x82 1913 art of men working in mine finding gold, ultra rare! Date Sold 4/9/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Movie Poster (measures 39 1/2" x 81 1/2" [100 x 207 cm]) (Learn More) La Terra Promessa (released in English-speaking countries as "The Land of Promise"), the 1913 Baldassarre Negroni Italian silent gold mining romantic love triangle adventure melodrama (a very daring film, because, unlike the vast majority of romantic love triangles of this time, the "triangle" in this movie is NOT a man in love with two women, but rather a woman in love with two men, which was not done in movies at this time, and which caused censorship problems for this movie!) starring Francesca Bertini, Alberto Collo, and Emilio Ghione. Note that Italian actress Francesca Bertini was one of the most successful silent film stars in the first quarter of the twentieth century. Reputedly, in 1915 she earned $175,000, a record for the time, and American star Mary Pickford wouldn't match that until the following year! Bertini is most noted for developing the then new acting technique of playing her characters in a more realistic way (previously, actresses on screen used very heavy emoting). She is only remembered today by major film buffs, but she deserves to be rediscovered! 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 we have only auctioned one example of this extremely rare "country of origin" poster in all our years of auctioning! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before World War II since apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before and World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! Also note that this Italian poster was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Finally, note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: good to very good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display, but it has completely separated across the center fold. It also has some darkening, small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of a few of the folds. Learn More about condition grades
