An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Below the Sahara, the 1953 Armand Denis African desert expedition safari jungle adventure documentary ("SEE... Leopard attack on man! Baby-snatching gorillas! Battle of giant elephants! Cheetahs trained to hunt! Hippo bulls in combat! The ostrich rodeo! Penguin Playground! And plenty more!") narrated by Armand Denis. Note that Armand Denis had explored Africa and India in the 1930s with his wife Leila Roosevelt, and had produced and directed many short subjects with footage of their travels that he and his wife had shot themselves. In 1948, the 52 year-old Armand Denis divorced Roosevelt, and married 34 year-old Michaela Holdsworth, and together they made four movies (very similar to those he had made with his first wife). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture (more so at lower left and along portions of the right edge). It has a few tears of varying lengths around the edges. Certainly the poster could be restored and backed and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
