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. What is especially cool about this poster is that it has the studio-issued printed snipe for a specific Popeye cartoon ("Wigwam Whoopee", which came out in 1948, but, as noted above, this poster was used all the way until 1950) glued in the proper place on Popeye's bulging forearm! Usually, stock posters like this are found either blank, or with the name of a short written in by hand. Note that this item is in eMoviePoster.com's special "all animation" auction! The idea for this auction began when we were consigned a remarkable collection of original 1940s Walt Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees (and almost all of those are extremely rare ones that are hardly ever auctioned, and they almost all are in really nice condition). Once we knew we had those items, we contacted all our past consignors, and asked them to consign to this very special auction, and they REALLY came through, consigning a wonderful assortment of cartoon movie paper of all sorts. Buying from this special auction gives you an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain some of the finest cartoon animation movie paper we have ever seen, and all of them will have new owners when these auctions close, because all start at $1 with no reserve. Many of these items will likely not be auctioned again for many years to come! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds, with very minor wear on the other folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
