A 1994 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded English Half Crown Movie Poster (measures 16 1/2" x 23 1/2") (Learn More)

The Iron Horse, the 1924 John Ford silent transcontinental railroad train Native American Indian historical adventure romantic epic ("Blazing the trail of love and civilization"; "A Romantic Picture of the East and West"; "Three Years in the Making"; "By Charles Kenyon and John Russell"; about the first efforts to create a transcontinental railroad, with savage Indians who ambush the train builders, and many subplots; the movie includes elements of the real first transcontinental railroad) starring George O'Brien, Madge Bellamy, Charles Edward Bull (as Abraham Lincoln), Cyril Chadwick, Will Walling, George Waggner (as Buffalo Bill), Chief John Big Tree, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Jack Padjan (as Wild Bill Hickok). Note that major silent movies at this time were given exclusive showings in either just New York City, or in just a few major cities, where they would charge much higher ticket prices (and people could either pay those higher prices or wait a year or more for the movie to make it to regular theaters). This is one of those movies, and all existing first release posters from it say "Direct from one year's run in New York" on them. We don't know if there were any regular posters created for that initial New York run, and it seems likely that whatever was created would have been "one of a kind", because they would only have been used at that one theater.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that parts of this poster are printed on a shiny gold foil-like surface which is impossible to accurately photograph but is quite striking when viewed in person. This foil can be damaged quite easily and because of that, foil posters are difficult to find in great condition.

Condition: very good to fine.
