Artist: Fran Dowie Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in England at the time that this classic movie was released, but it only has a slight connection to it. It was created by "Danny Arnold", who was likely Daniel Alvin Arnold, one of the directors of the Old Western Trading Company of London. One of the directors of the Old Western Trading Company of London. This English map shows the entire United States, with much important trivia scattered all over it, and it has images of "fabulous characters of the West" all around the outside, which they say were taken from "contemporary prints, tintypes, Wells Fargo archives, museums, old photographs, and posters of the period. At the top center of the map, between crossed guns, is the following: "Danny Arnold's pictorial map of How the West Was Won", and there is a paragraph about it, and then "compiled and illustrated by Fran Dowie". Beneath that is "METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER" and "CINERAMA" to the right of that (see our image). We imagine Mr. Arnold felt there would be considerable interest in America's Old West once this movie was released, and that he commissioned and published this map. We don't know if he purchased the rights to use MGM's name (information about this poster is impossible to find). So it is either an authorized map connected to the movie, or an unauthorized one, but it is surely a very rare collectible on this classic Cinerama movie. Also 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. Condition: very good. The map was folded and there is tiny paper loss in the far right middle crossfold. There are some brown dot stains in the right of the top border, slightly extending into the images under it. There is some similar brown staining on the back of some of the folds and a little bit of it shows through to the front. Learn More about condition grades
