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

Lost in a Big City, the 1923 George Irving silent New York City alcohol bootlegging melodrama ("What was this shadow that threatened them?"; "L. Case Russell's screen version of 'Lost in a Big City' by N.S. Woods"; based on the novel by N.S. Woods) starring John Lowell, "with an excellent cast including" Baby Ivy Ward, Jane Thomas, Charles Byer, Evangeline Russell, and Edgar Keller. Note that Ivy Ward was a Belgian World War I orphan who was brought to the U.S. In 1917, she appeared in her first movie (billed as "Baby Ivy Ward"), and in 1919, she pretty much played her own life story in a movie about World War I. She continued in movies until she was 10 years-old (oddly, still billed as "Baby Ivy Ward"), and then she retired. This movie was her second to last. She may be still alive today, and if so, she is 102 years old!
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has many tears and paper loss in the right left and right borders, but they do not affect the image. There is paper loss in the top right corner, and it does affect the tagline, but you can easily tell what the missing area says, so it could be easily recreated. The poster is fragile and in urgent need of restoration, but once it is backed, it will look wonderful! Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
