Description

Stagecoach (United Artists, 1939). One Sheet (27" X 41"). One of the truly hard-to-find posters, this "Stagecoach" one sheet rarely turns up for auction. John Ford's Western masterpiece made John Wayne a star after ten years of struggling in B films. The story was archetypal - a stagecoach travels from New Mexico to a distant settlement with a diverse array of passengers on board, each representing a different stratum of society, and of course, after internal conflicts give way to an external one, the rebel/outlaw/social loner ultimately redeems himself with heroics. This beautiful stone litho poster doesn't depict any of the film's stars, but its importance in film history make it one of the most desirable one sheets in the movie poster hobby. There is fold wear with cross fold separations and small chipping, pinholes in the borders, a chip out of the top corner and right border and a vertical cut in the left side. These defects have been corrected with professional restoration, and now this beauty appears near perfect. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
