An Undated (surely either late 1920s or early 1930s) Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Insert Movie Poster (measures 12 1/4" x 25 3/4") (Learn More) Mickey Mouse is an animated animation cartoon character created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. He first appeared in the cartoon short Steamboat Willie which was one of the first cartoons with synchronized sound and the first cartoon to feature a fully post-produced soundtrack. He was massively merchandised in the 1930s, and was a major part of the success of the Walt Disney studio. After his starring role in Fantasia (in the Sorcerer's Apprentice sequence), his popularity waned somewhat, but he remained the mascot of the studio, and has always been central to the studio (for example, Disney had a "Mickey Mouse Club" TV show where the children wore mouse ears). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster that Swedish theaters could use whenever they showed a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Looking at the image of Mickey, it seems to surely be from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Also note that this Swedish insert measures 12 1/4" x 25 3/4" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had information written in the stock portion at the bottom, but it has faded so much that it is barely noticeable. It appears there were some light water stains around the edges of the poster and across the center, but they are not very noticeable or distracting. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
