Auction History Result 6c0047 GOT 'EM AGAIN vertical British quad 1913 great close-up art of startled policeman, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Vertical British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Got 'em Again, the 1913 Charles Calvert English silent police crime slapstick comedy short ("Pick of the world's best pictures"). Charles Calvert was a director and sometimes actor who was very active in the early 1910s. He mostly made crime comedy shorts, and it was possible that he also acted (or possibly starred) in this one. If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we were consigned this vertical British quad poster (which is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie!). Also note that few people know that in the early days of British quads, they were originally in a vertical format (but they measured 30" x 40", just as they continue to do throughout the years). This is because so few of them survive, almost surely because of the massive paper shortages in England during World War II! At some point in the 1950s, they changed orientation to be horizontal, and they have remained that way to the present day. Finally note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II English poster! Virtually no English posters survive from the 1940s or earlier, because during World War II there were many paper shortages resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Finally note that this poster was folded at one time, but it has been stored flat, and because it is somewhat fragile we are not refolding it and it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster is extremely fragile and has tiny tears and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds and in the borders, where there is also some darkening. However it is "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
