An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Vittoria o Morte! (released in English-speaking countries as "Victory or Death"), the 1913 Mario Caserini Italian silent espionage spy adventure melodrama thriller (about a countess whose father had important secret documents, and a spy deceives her and steals them, and she spends the entire film pursuing him; in the most interesting sequence of the movie, she steals an early airplane to chase the spy who is on a ship; the movie featured special effects by Segundo de Chomon, and Nelson is noted for playing a "modern" woman, who is not afraid to be part of the action but will also use her feminine charms to achieve her goals) starring Berta Nelson. It is easy to find a complete summary of the movie, but we could not find any names of the rest of the cast. This almost certainly is one of the earliest non-documentary movies to include an airplane, especially in an important plot development. The movie has several important similarities to "Filibus", which was also made in Italy two years later, and we would think the makers of Filibus surely had seen this movie! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Leopoldo Metlicovitz Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned a 4-panel from this movie, which showed the lead female character jumping from an airplane, and it auctioned for $7,750. We also auctioned a 2-panel, which only showed a burning ship, and that auctioned for $365. Now we are auctioning this 1-panel, which has a wonderful art close up of the lead character holding a gun! These are the only three posters from this movie we have ever auctioned. Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Italian movie! Note that this poster ships in a very long tube (at least 33" long, but possibly 50" long or more). Therefore the shipping for this poster will be more than that for a poster that ships in a tube 32" or shorter, and possibly much more. Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. You can tell how long of a tube this poster needs to ship in by looking at the shorter dimension of its length and width and then adding 4" to that (so a 47" x 63" poster will need to ship in a 51" long tube). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of a few of the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster acquired water staining in the upper left border after it was backed. It is scattered in the top half of the left blank border and does not extend into the image. One could simply live with this, since it is solely in the blank border, or there are various ways to approach restoring this, but bear this defect in mind before bidding on the poster, although do remember that it is solely in the blank border.
