An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Heart of a Bandit, the 1915 Tony O'Sullivan silent cowboy western short starring Harry Carey Sr. (in the title roles as Texas Pete the Bandit), Charles West, and Violet Reed. Note that this movie was a Biograph western from 1915. It was one of many movies that the "Aywon Film Corporation" bought the rights to in the very early 1920s, and they distributed them to theaters with newly created art, and surely fooled most moviegoers into thinking they were seeing a brand new movie (and they likely expected a feature-length one, as well!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was tri-folded only. It likely once had a snipe because there are tears in the shape of a rectangle just to the right of Carey's mouth. There were some areas of paper loss around that rectangle and some tears and paper loss in the rest of the left of the top horizontal fold, including in Carey's cheek, ear, and hair, and some tears and tiny paper loss in the top horizontal fold near the middle of the poster. There were also tears and areas of paper loss in the left two-thirds of the bottom horizontal fold, and in the several inches above and below that area, affecting the writing in those areas. There was a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There were tears, paper loss, and some tape stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
