GONE WITH THE WIND MOVIE POSTER R1968 SET OF 4 LOBBY DISPLAYS CLARK GABLE
Welcome to the auction of 4 absolutely guaranteed original very fine condition rerelease 1968 or rerelease 1947 American apprx 17 by 25 inches each movie posters for GONE WITH THE WIND. The movie stars CLARK GABLE, VIVIAN LEIGH and LESLIE HOWARD. These posters were actually originally theatre lobby displays in the form of 3D type mattboard framed posters. The artwork was created by Howard Terpning, who also created the movie poster artwork for other films such as "Cleopatra", "Sound of Music" and
"Doctor Zhivago. They were originally issued in a mattboard paper covered frame and over time these paper frames fell apart before I got them. They had very beautiful boarders which I have saved separately ,these paper boarders can be added to the posters at a large expense as some pieces would need to be created as some were missing. when i bought them however the pictures in these paper frames as you can see are in excellent now linenbacked condition but there was no way to leave these posters mounted to these very cheap flimsy mattboard frames they were peeling off of. I have left extra linenbacking in case the buyers wish to add these pieces as the uncropped Gable photo shows. ORIGINALLY THESE PAPER/ MATTBOARD FRAMES WERE THREE DIMENSIONAL AS THE OUTER EDGER WERE CURVED OUTWARD SO THESE EXTRA FRAME PIECES EDGES DO NOT LINE UP FLUSH WITH EACH OTHER WHEN LYING FLAT, THIS ALSO IS WHY I DID NOT ADD THEM TO THESE LINENBACKED POSTERS. Recently July 29th 2012 , I noticed a emoviepostercom auction on 2 of these and this is how he discribed them - I copy and paste it in here so you can hear their opinion - "Note that these two standees, which were created for the 1947 re-release of this classic movie, have a "3-D" type frame around each of them, giving them a very nice appearance. Note that because these standees are not dated, they are sometimes sold as being from the 1939 first release. I know there was also a similar set of standees created for the 1968 re-release, but I have seen a set of those, and they were "newer" than these. But I can't say for a certainty that these are from 1947 as opposed to 1968, so please do not bid on these unless you can accept that uncertainty. ". ----OK, as far as these in this auction which are exactly like theirs I would say they are from 1947 for the same reason they looked quite old while peeling off from there old mattboard frames before I linenbacked them to fix and preserve them . On 1-16-14 I was this info - Hi- These are from the 1967 roadshow re-release, they are featured in the 1967 pressbook for the 70mm re-release. cheers todd . I HAVE ADDED THERE PHOTO'S OF ONE OF POSTERS IN ITS FRAME AND A PICTURE OF THE BACK SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THESE POSTER WERE DISPLAYED BEFORE BEING REBACKED ONTO LINEN WITHOUT THE FLOWERY BORDER THING . Add $25 for shipping IN A VERY THICK TUBE to your winning bid. All other countries add $45 to your winning bid for shipping .
