Auction History Result 1w038 PATHESCOPE 20x30 English advertising poster 1910s art of crowing rooster, 28m KOK, rare! Date Sold 11/15/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Folded English Advertising Poster (measures 19 3/4" x 29 3/4" [50 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Pathescope ("The Home Cinema"; "Free Demonstrations given within.") was a 28 mm film, projectors and camera system. 28 mm was a format introduced by the Pathe Film Company in France in 1912. 28 mm is diacetate film stock (versus flammable nitrate), and the size was deliberately chosen such that it would be uneconomical to slit 35 mm nitrate film. This system enabled the public to view films inside their home (often, but not always, abridged reduction prints!). 28 mm was discontinued in Europe during World War II, however it continued in North America until 1920 (it was later replaced by Pathe's own 9.5 mm film, as well as Kodak's much improved 16 mm format). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Pathescope was established in the U.K. in 1912 and we believe that this poster dates to the early 1910s (likely 1912 or 1913). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. There is light rippling and slight discoloration scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture and the poster has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges. The rare, historical poster is in need of restoration, and certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
