Date Sold 11/21/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (28" x 42 1/4") (Learn More) Barnsdale's Moving Pictures, this 1905 movie poster features an great stone litho image of a hobo. Walter Barnsdale made this film (and a few others) and toured with an electronic lamp house and a portable gasoline power supply of his own invention to show his films in the towns and cities that he visited. Barnsdale is a forgotten pioneer of movies who, at the turn of the 20th century in Wisconsin, created his own movies and exhibited them at prisons around the country (he had the ultimate "captive audience"!). Not surprisingly, all of Barnsdale's movies were morality plays, designed to uplift the inmates who viewed them. In the 1960s, Barnsdale's son surfaced with multiple examples of several posters his father had made at the turn of the century (including this one). Those posters were sold decades ago, and one rarely sees any of them for sale. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. There are small tears and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges and some light horizontal creases throughout the poster, but overall, the poster is in quite nice condition, especially considering it is over 100 years old! This week we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like creasing, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
