An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) A New Grantland Rice Sportlight, the 1949 Paramount Grantland Rice sports highlights short ("Your Ringside Seat Where Sports History is Made!"). Note that this is a stock one-sheet that was sent to theaters showing these sports highlight newsreels. There is a rectangular box in the bottom left where the theater could write in the name of the specific short being shown. Note that the one-sheet has great artwork images of basketball, football, and baseball players, as well as horse racing and swimmers diving into a pool. Note that Grantland Rice was a famous sports writer of the 1920s, who produced 164 sports short subjects in the 1920s and 1930s. The IMDb does not show him as having produced sports highlights reels in the 1940s (except for two single titles in 1943 and 1945), so it is quite possible that his name was used on this series, but that he was not actually connected with them. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, and tears and some tiny areas of paper loss in the left half of the middle foldline. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
