An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28 1/2" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Krazy Kat, the Columbia stock poster created for theaters showing Krazy Kat animated animation cartoons. There were two different stock posters created by Columbia, one in 1931, and one in 1936, and they have very different images of Krazy Kat. We have seen only two posters for specific Krazy Kat cartoons, but they may have made them for all of them, but if so, they are incredibly rare, as are the stock posters, because we have only auctioned two of the 1936 style and one of the 1931 style. Each of the stock posters have a rectangular blank area at the bottom for adding in the title of the cartoon the theater would play that day. By not imprinting a title, a frugal theater owner could reuse this poster over and over! Note that Krazy Kat is an American newspaper comic strip by cartoonist George Herriman, which ran from 1913 to 1944. It first appeared in the New York Evening Journal, whose owner, William Randolph Hearst, was a major booster for the strip throughout its run. Set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home of Coconino County, Arizona, Krazy Kat's mixture of offbeat surrealism, innocent playfulness and poetic, idiosyncratic language has made it a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than 80 years. The strip was adapted into animated cartoons many times from 1916 to 1940 (Columbia distributed them from 1929 to 1939). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: As noted above, this one-sheet is the 1936 stock poster created by Columbia. The poster (which we have only auctioned once before, and that was 28 years ago, when it sold for $1,870) was printed with a blank rectangular title area at bottom. Someone who was showing a specific cartoon ("Highway Snobbery" from 1936) attached a 4 1/2" x 23 3/4" heavy paper snipe to that area, and they added a 1" x 5" piece of red tape to the left and right sides of the added snipe, because that looked better than the blank white that was there originally (see our image). We strongly suspect this was done by someone many years after the poster was created, and it does make the poster display far better than if it was blank white across that area. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/2" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds. It had a series of small horizontal tears and tiny paper loss scattered down the vertical fold and someone had put tape on the back of each of them. There was a much lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Either before or after the poster was backed, someone attached a snipe to the blank rectangular area at bottom, and also put a piece of red tape on the left and right of that area (see above). They also performed restoration to the above defects. It is somewhat noticeable, but the poster will still display well on the new owner's wall. The poster was in a frame, and there was tape around the edges of the excess linen, and it was slightly on the bottom edge of the bottom blank border. The tape was removed, and you can see signs of where the tape was in the excess linen, and in the bottom edge of the poster, and it is slightly "tacky". One could have the excess neatly trimmed off, or certainly, it could simply be re-framed. Learn More about condition grades
