Auction History Result b503 HIS MOTHER French one-panel movie poster '13 cool Hem stone litho art! Date Sold 4/8/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures 39 3/8" x 55"; known as a 'grande' poster in France) (Learn More) His Mother, the 1911 silent medical hospital doctor family melodrama short starring Mary Maurice, Maurice Costello, Mabel Normand, and Hazel Neason. Note that this is a VERY unusual poster from the early 1910s! In the earliest days of movie distribution, the studios temporarily hit on the idea of creating one poster for use in several European countries, and to make that work, they put the title of the movie in three different languages at the top of the poster! The languages are English, German, and French. These posters are stone lithographs, and oddly, they measure very close to the size that became the standard for Italian one-panels, 39 3/8" x 55" (and yet they were likely printed in the U.S.). Many years ago, we were consigned a group of approximately 12 these posters that were discovered in a European archive, and we have now been consigned four of these posters that were discovered in an out-of-the-way place by the very same consignor from so many years ago! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an extremely early movie poster! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: R. Hem Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded in the usual way but then was folded across the center one extra time. Because of this, this poster can be sent in one of our standard size packages (if it is purchased together with posters that were NOT folded an extra time, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our oversized packages). But if this poster is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that were folded an extra time), then the shipping will be much lower, because it fits in a standard package. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
