An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Terry-Toons, a 1937 stock poster used by theaters that show Terry-Toons. Note that the poster includes images of some of Paul Terry's earlier cartoon characters, including Farmer Al Falfa! Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1940 (there may have been ones from earlier or later years, but we have never encountered them). Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the posters were initially printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year, and ALSO usually add a single-color image from that cartoon (unusual for stock cartoon posters), and then they would print another group of the posters with a different cartoon title and image, and so on. This particular poster was NOT overprinted with any specific title (most of the ones we have seen WERE overprinted). Perhaps they left it blank so that a theater could order this poster and then put their own snipes on it, thus getting to use the poster over and over! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good. The poster had many staple holes around the edges and across the top and middle foldlines. There were creases and tears around the edges and there was an extra horizontal foldline 1/2" above the regular bottom foldline. There were faint smudges scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer paperbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
