Date Sold 1/20/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Royal Tour of Queen Elizabeth and Philip: Flight of the White Heron, the 1954 Sir Gordon Craig English royalty documentary ("A full length feature in CinemaScope"; about Queen Elizabeth's six month trip to Australia, the only time an English monarch visited there) featuring Queen Elizabeth and Philip of England, narrated by Leslie Mitchell. Note that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1954 by 20th Century-Fox. It originally ran 96 minutes, but we think the U.S. version was 52 minutes (and we wonder how many theaters showed it, because we would think it was of limited interest to American audiences). Note that originally, Elizabeth's father, King George VI, was supposed to take this trip to Australia in 1949. But because of his ill health, it was decided that his daughter, Princess Elizabeth, would go in his place in 1951. But sadly, his health had deteriorated further, so the trip was postponed again, and by the time she made the trip in 1954, she was now the queen. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with this pressbook), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
