Auction History Result 2c010 DECEPTION 1/2sh 1921 early Ernst Lubitsch, Hilliker art of Henny Porten as Boleyn, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1921 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 19 1/2" x 24 1/2" [50 x 62 cm]) (Learn More) Anna Boleyn (released in the U.S. in 1921 as "Deception"), the 1920 Ernst Lubitsch German silent English royalty romantic melodrama ("This is the girl whose beauty tore the world in twain- whose fascination gained her a crown- whose royal romance shook an empire to its foundations- whose story will be remembered as long as men and women love!"; "A King's Kiss - and then Deception"; "A Graphic Page From Life's Book- that's Deception"; "Under the robes of a queen, the crushed heart of a girl."; "The Greatest Spectacle Ever Filmed! The Greatest Romance Ever Lived!") starring Henny Porten (in the title role as Anna Boleyn), Emil Jannings (as Henry VIII), Paul Hartmann, Ludwig Hartau, and Aud Egede-Nissen. Note that the name of this movie in Germany was "Anna Boleyn". That historical figure is ALWAYS referred to as "Anne Boleyn" in modern times (we don't know when and why it changed)! Also note that Henny Porten was one of the most important German actresses of all time, but because she solely made German movies, she is almost unknown in the U.S. She started acting in 1906 at the age of 16, and over a 50 year period she made an amazing 180 movies. During the Nazi era she fell out of favor with the ruling party because she refused to divorce her Jewish husband, and she only made 10 movies between 1931 and 1949. Surely a movie could and should be made of her life! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Hilliker Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two stills and a Dutch program from this movie (and no other movie paper items from any country) until we received this half-sheet! Note that the poster has been trimmed and it now measures 19 1/2" x 24 1/2". Also 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: very good. The poster was never folded and it had white blank borders surrounding the grey borders (approximately 1" on each side), and someone trimmed off those blank white borders, and the poster now measures 19 1/2" x 24 1/2", but other than the trimming and tiny pinholes in the corners, the poster is in really excellent condition. It was never folded, and it has bright colors, and it is not at all fragile! We consider the missing blank borders to be a minor defect when compared to its many positives, which is why we still give it a "very good" grade, but we leave it to bidders to decide how important the missing blank borders are.
