Auction History Result 7p189 EL BELLO DURMIENTE linen Spanish 1952 Cabral art of caveman Tin-Tan, great granddad of Tarzan, rare! Date Sold 6/20/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures 26 3/4" x 38 3/4" [68 x 98 cm]) (Learn More) El bello durmiente (released in the U.S. as "The Beautiful Dreamer"), the 1952 Gilberto Martinez Solares Mexican prehistoric caveman fantasy comedy starring German Valdes (billed as "Tin-Tan"), Lilia del Valle, Wolf Ruvinskis, Marcelo Chavez, and Juan Garcia Artist: Ernesto Garcia Cabral Important Added Info: Note that this is not only a poster with wonderful Cabral art, but it also might be one of the most unusual Tarzan-related posters ever! We have auctioned the Mexican poster from this, and it is smaller, and is extremely similar to this poster, but that poster is not a lithograph, and it lacks the tagline that reads "Bisabuelo de Tarzan", which translates to "Great Grandfather of Tarzan". No doubt the Edgar Rice Burroughs people, who are incredibly protective of Tarzan, saw the poster and threatened to sue, which caused them to redo the poster without that tagline. We have only auctioned this poster once before, and that was the same example as this poster, except it had not been backed. The person who purchased the poster had it backed and has now sent it to us to re-auction, so it remains the only example of this poster we have ever seen! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had paper loss in the bottom of the artwork (in the girl's arm), and also in the bottom corners. It also had pinholes and tears around the edges, with paper loss and tears in the girl's face, with a tear extending from the left of her face down into her shoulder. Overall, the poster was in poor to fair condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's very substantial defects, a talented restorer did a really nice job of restoring it and linenbacking it. They did not want to paint over large sections of the poster, so they mostly just addressed the exact defects detailed above. You can see clear signs of the restoration when you look closely, but from any reasonable viewing distance, this wonderfully wacky (and rare) poster displays well. But please bear in mind the restoration it has had before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
