An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Popeye Cartoon, the 1943 Paramount Pictures stock poster created for theaters showing Popeye animation animated cartoons. Theaters would order one of these posters and then display it when they showed a Popeye cartoon along with their features. The poster had a blank area in Popeye's forearm, where studio-issued snipes could be glued (or a theater could write in the name of a cartoon in that area). Note that Paramount sadly looked to save money on its Popeye posters in the 1940s, and instead of making an individual one for every cartoon, they made a color stock poster in 1941, and then this 2-color stock poster in 1943, and a full-color stock poster in 1950. They also made a 2-color stock poster in 1949 called "Popeye Cartoon Carnival". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this 1943 stock poster is surprisingly rare, perhaps it was because it was during the middle of World War II, and few survived the paper drives. Usually, stock posters like this are found either blank, with the name of a short written in by hand, or with a printed snipe glued on. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had tears and areas of paper loss in the left half of the middle and bottom horizontal folds and smaller tears and areas of paper loss in parts of the other folds.
