Auction History Result 4z042 LESLIE HOWARD 22x28 personality poster '30s great head & shoulders smiling portrait! Date Sold 2/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Leslie Howard was a top English star from the 1910s to the 1940s. Some of his movies include: Gone With the Wind, Pygmalion (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), In Which We Serve, Forty-Ninth Parallel, Berkeley Square (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and The Petrified Forest. Howard was at the height of his popularity when he passed away in 1943 at the age of 50, when the plane he was in was shot down by Germans. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Personality posters were created in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s. All of the major studios created sets of these that usually measured exactly 22" x 28". Most often they were taller than they were wide, but occasionally they would be horizontal. It is interesting to note that the image on these posters is often very close to actual life-size! While at least several hundred different special personality posters were made between the 1910s and early 1940s, few are known to have survived, as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! As far as we know, Warner Bros. only created one series of 22" x 28" personality posters in the sound era. They were made in the very late 1930s or early 1940s (on a linen-like paper, similar to the lobby cards and posters they made at that time). Posters from this set are far more rare than those from MGM (perhaps because they made less of them than MGM did). Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: fair to good. The poster has many creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image and it has unevenly darkened in the top and bottom. There are some pinholes and tiny bits of paper loss around the edges, with a 1 1/2" tear in the bottom border (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
