Lot # 413 - Italian 4-Fogli (54.5" x 77"); Fine- on Linen

Our expert's notes

Italian 4-Fogli (54.5" x 77")
Fine- on Linen; Artist Luigi Martinati
MGM, 1937

Spencer Tracy won an Academy Award for his role in the classic sea-faring epic. Posters have always been in demand, but many US-release images are what poster collectors call "MGM White." This may be the only copy of this magnificent image by Italian artist Martinati.

Before restoration, this poster had a chip out of the upper border than extended down into the art. It also had several large tears in the title area. The rest of the poster was in excellent condition and now shows minor color touchups to the fold lines and the center points. The paper in the overlap (where the two sections were put together when linen-backing) shows some signs of moisture rippling. Finally, after the poster was backed, the linen was trimmed to the edge of the poster.

Rudyard Kipling's 1897 novel received a 1920s update with this Victor Fleming film, in which an ill-mannered child is rescued from the sea by the crew of a fishing schooner, who whisk him off on a nautical adventure.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
