An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 29" [37 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Prep and Pep, the 1928 David Butler military academy romantic boxing sports competition melodrama ("Desire under the campus elms"; "Story by William Conselman and David Butler"; "Scenario by John Stone"; about a young man who goes to a military academy, and his father was their greatest athlete ever, but he is bad at every sport, but then he proves himself a champion at breaking horses, and he rescues the commandant's daughter) starring David Rollins, Nancy Drexel, John Darrow, E.H. Calvert, and Frank Albertson. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 this is one of a remarkable find of 143 Argentinean posters from 1926 to 1929 that were recently discovered! They all measure approximately 14 1/4" x 28 1/4", which was one of the two main sizes created for Argentinean movie posters at that time (the other was a poster that measured 29" x 43"). It is likely that prior to this amazing find, there were only a small number of these posters known to exist in the entire world, and after these 143 are auctioned, it is unlikely that there will be many more discovered, even over the coming decades! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Argentinean poster from the late 1920s, a time when virtually no movie posters from any country are known to exist! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.
UPDATED 01/05/2017: Note that this is an Argentinean poster and not Mexican as we originally mentioned. The "Mexico 1059" at the bottom is the address of the printer in Buenos Aires. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
