Perils of the Jungle, the 1927 Jack Nelson silent crime action adventure serial ("The greatest wild animal serial ever produced"; "Ten Episodes"; "A ten episode serial of a thousand thrills and a million dollar cast"; "Story by Harry P. Crist") starring Eugenia Gilbert, Frank Merrill, Bobby Nelson, Milburn Morante, and Albert J. Smith. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is the only item we have ever auctioned from this serial, not only the only first release item, but the first item from any release! In the late 1910s through the early 1930s, MGM (and sometimes Paramount and a couple of other studios) would often make a regular one-sheet for a movie and, instead of a second style regular one-sheet, would instead make a special "rotogravure" one-sheet. Named after the rotogravure picture sections at the time popular in Sunday newspapers, these one-sheets would be printed in a single color, often sepia, but sometimes other colors, and they would usually incorporate pictorial images from the movie combined in a montage fashion. Very few rotogravure one-sheet have survived, since they were printed on the same paper stock used in newspapers of the time, and the paper is very fragile and often darkens. Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm].

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some small tears, separation, and a few stains on parts of the folds. It had a 3" diagonal tear near the center of the poster, going into the man's forehead and ear. There was some small paper loss around the edges and a few small stains in the bottom of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
