An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Uzbekistan Movie Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 42 1/2" [72 x 108 cm]) (Learn More) Alim, the 1926 Georgi Tasin Russian silent highwayman criminal romantic melodrama (about a real life 19th century Robin Hood-like highwayman who robbed the rich and helped the poor!) starring Ivan Arbenin-Padokhin, Aleksandr Arbo, Asiye Emir-Zade, Khairi Emir-Zade (in the title role as Alim), and B. Goncharov. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. Amazingly, the movie was rediscovered and shown theatrically in Kiev in 2015. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once part of the Soviet Union). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and there is much separation along the vertical foldline and at lower right and those areas (as well as MANY of the tears around the edges) are backed by tape. It has several scuff marks and creases scattered in various areas. It is somewhat fragile. Learn More about condition grades
