Date Sold 4/16/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Casper, the 1950 Paramount stock animated animation cartoon poster ("Color by Technicolor Produced by Famous Studios"). Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Paramount in for use for all entries of their "Casper" series. This particular stock poster was printed in 1950. Theaters would order this poster, and display it when they showed a Casper cartoon (unlike many stock posters, this one has full great art, with no blank space for a snipe indicating the title of a specific short). Note that Casper is the rare case of a cartoon character that was NOT based on a comic strip or comic book character. There was a book with Casper in it published in 1939, but it was not hugely successful, and in 1945, Paramount purchased the rights to that character, and created the character we all know today (in the original book, he scared people, but in the 1945 cartoon, he was a "friendly ghost"). Casper had much success in Paramount's Noveltoons, and later many Harvey comics were published starring Casper and many of his friends. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned three examples of this one-sheet, but the last one was 13 years ago! What IS linenbacking?
