An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Mandrake, the Magician, the 1939 Norman Deming & Sam Nelson magic thriller serial ("Black magic conjures up a flaming holocaust of thrills!"; "Based upon the King Features Newspaper created by Lee Falk and Phil Davis") starring Warren Hull (in the title role as Mandrake the Magician), Doris Weston, Al Kikume, Rex Downing, and Edward Earle

Artist: Glenn Cravath
Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful one-sheet for this Columbia magic serial is extremely rare. We have only auctioned it once before, and that was 25 years ago, when it auctioned for $1,320. What is even more odd is that we have never auctioned any of the "chapter" one-sheets, or even any of the chapter lobby cards, just this one-sheet for the entire serial (but we have had a still for a single chapter).

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and scattered in the vertical fold between them. It had some small tears and tiny paper loss in parts of the other folds, but fortunately not in the top horizontal fold, which runs through Mandrake's face. It had some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
