A Set of 8 Original Vintage Educational Posters (each measures 19" x 25") (Learn More) The Adventures of Robin Hood, the classic 1938 Michael Curtiz & William Keighley England royalty romantic adventure thriller ("Dazzling to the eye... stirring to the heart - a great entertainment from Warner Bros."; "Based "He lives again - the world's most beloved rogue!"; On Ancient Robin Hood Legends"; "Photographed in Technicolor"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Errol Flynn (in the title role as Robin Hood), Olivia De Havilland (as Maid Marian), Basil Rathbone (as Sir Guy of Gisbourne), Claude Rains (as Prince John), Patric Knowles (as Will Scarlett), Eugene Pallette (as Friar Tuck), Alan Hale Sr. (as Little John), Melville Cooper (as the Sheriff of Nottingham), Ian Hunter (as King Richard the Lion Heart), Una O'Connor, and Herbert Mundin. Note that the mount of Maid Marian is played by none other than Trigger the Horse, before he was purchased by Roy Rogers! Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a set of special educational posters created by the studio to promote this movie. Apparently, this promotion started in 1938, and these sets of posters were sent to libraries by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (apparently, the company that either printed these or distributed these). We imagine the idea was for the library to display these posters around their walls, so that visitors to the library would learn about how movies were made (this set has many scenes from the movie, each in a different setting, information that is likely available nowhere else!), and at the same time, it would provide publicity for a current movie! These sets are incredibly rare, but in March of 2016, we were consigned a collection of 17 of these sets from 17 different movies that were sent to a Massachusetts library. We auctioned all of them in that set of auctions! There was a second example of just this one set (the one from Adventures of Robin Hood), but this second set is in lesser condition, due to paper loss in the borders of all the posters. This is the ONLY additional set we have from this movie or any of the movies, and once this set has been auctioned, we may well not have any more sets for years to come! Condition: good. All of the posters are somewhat fragile and all have seven areas of paper loss in the top blank border, and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the blank borders of the other posters. There are also two posters that have significant paper loss that extends into the image. Please look closely at all eight of our images before placing a bid on these posters.
