Auction History Result 9g264 KINORIPORT 37x50 Hungarian newsreel poster 1915 Weiss art of Russian soldiers grabbing woman! Date Sold 8/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Theatrical Hungarian World War I Newsreel Movie Poster (measures 37 1/4" x 49 1/2" [95 x 126 cm]) (Learn More) Kinoriport (literally translates to "Cinematic Report"), the 1915 Hungarian World War I (WWI) newsreel poster featuring Antal Weiss art of a Hungarian woman being accosted by two Russian soldiers as another soldier with a whip looks on. Kinoriport was a Hungarian movie studio (Hungarian director Michael Curtiz made films with them for a time) which made documentaries, shorts, and feature films. It seems extremely likely that this poster was used to advertise Kinoriport newsreels about the war, and the blank area at the bottom could be used by theater-owners to promote specific newsreels by adding snipes or writing the title. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Antal Weiss Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare poster! Not only do few movie posters from any 1915 movie exist, but we would think that surely very, very few from Hungary would exist, especially this one, which presented Russian soldiers in such a bad light! There is a small sticker on the back of the bottom left corner that reads "Dr. Hans Sachs, Berlin-Nikolassee". Hans Sachs was perhaps the most famous poster collector of all time, amassing an insanely huge collection between 1910 and 1937, when it was seized by the Nazis (and there is much history to the collection after that time, including that some of the collection was found after the war, and some of it was auctioned). I urge any of you with the slightest interest about Hans Sachs to search the Internet, because his is a fascinating story, and you will want to read it! This poster was in his collection at one time, which makes it all the more important! Condition: very good. The poster was folded at one time, but it was backed onto a very thin linen with no excess, and no restoration to the poster was performed. This likely occurred either when the poster was made or not long after. There are some creases, smudges, and scuffs on the folds and some scattered throughout the poster, but surely this poster has survived in about as nice condition as one could hope for an over 100 year old poster!
