An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Last Outlaw, the 1927 Arthur Rosson silent cowboy western ("Story by Richard Allen Gates"; Gary Cooper is a sheriff in a tough town, and he has to hunt down a wanted outlaw, and unfortunately, the outlaw is the brother of the girl he wants to marry) starring Gary Cooper, Jack Luden, Betty Jewel, Herbert Prior, Jim Corey, and Billy Butts 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned one of each three-sheet (23 years ago), a one-sheet (15 years ago), an insert, a herald, and two stills (and NO other movie paper items of any kind) from this movie until we received this half-sheet! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded horizontally, but not vertically, and it had some tiny tears, creases, and tiny bits of paper loss on that fold. It had some pinholes around the edges, including in the borders of the art, with some paper loss in the right blank border. It had some smudges around the edges and scattered in the letters of Cooper's credit. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. Given the poster's defects described above, the restorer did a generally nice job, but you can still clearly see some signs of the defects and the restoration of the defects in parts of the poster, but the poster displays pretty well (see our super-sized images to get a good sense of exactly how the poster looks now).
