The Heritage of the Desert, the 1924 Irvin Willat silent romantic cowboy western (based on the novel by Zane Grey; about a man who returns to the land in the desert he grew up in, and he falls in love with a neighboring rancher's daughter, but she had promised her father she would marry someone else; but she runs away on her wedding day, only to be captured by an outlaw, but everything works out in the end) starring Bebe Daniels, Ernest Torrence, Noah Beery Sr., Lloyd Hughes, and Anne Schaefer

Artist: John Richardson
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Australian daybill, and that was 8 years ago. The buyer of that poster had it linenbacked, and they have now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Note that this is one of an amazing collection of 62 linenbacked Australian daybills that all have great art from Richardson Studio (or John Richardson, before he became "Richardson Studio"!), which many collectors feel have the best art and design of any Australian daybills, and are highly sought after by collectors. These were accumulated by a very dedicated collector over many years, and they are now being all offered at once (in 62 separate auctions), so this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or many of these daybills, many of which rarely are offered for sale or at auction.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tape stains in the top and bottom borders. There was paper loss in the right of the top border and small paper loss in the right border, with some small tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. There was minor wear on the folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
