An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked MGM Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Laurel and Hardy, the 1932 poster for Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy 1930s movies. Note that this was one of a series of special personality posters created by MGM for their top stars in 1932. MGM had created an earlier series in the 1920s, and went on to create two more series later in the 1930s. Theaters would order this poster when they showed a movie starring Laurel & Hardy, and then display it in their lobby alongside the posters. Note that on the image of this personality poster, the heads of Laurel & Hardy are literally life-sized! These personality posters are extremely rare, and few have survived. 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 poster has been paperbacked. This means the poster was backed onto a board backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, and window cards. Also note that this poster measures 22" x 28". Condition: very good. prior to paperbacking, the poster was in good to very good condition; there were small tears, creases, and a few small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster; there were scuff marks within the image area and there was a stain in the top of Hardy's forehead; there was a 3" tear in the lower left border that was repaired with tape from the back; the poster had been folded in half and there were creases across the fold (in the area below the stars' heads at the top of their shoulders). The masters at Studio C did a great job restoring this poster. You can still see signs of the restoration from extremely close up, but from any distance away, they pretty much vanish (the only thing you see is traces of the creases across the center), and the poster looks great, and there really is little paint anywhere on it!
