Description

The Lost World (First National, 1925). Advance Promotional Poster (28" X 38") Rotogravure.
Here is something we have never seen before. Here offered is a promotional tie-in poster for Willis O'Brien's The Lost World and Corona Typewriters. This is the year before L. C. Smith Brothers typewriters joined with Corona to form Smith Corona Typewriters. One of the most popular devices of the early 20th Century, their advertising and product placement were, even in those days, advanced. This wonderful-condition poster pictures not only three scenes with O'Brien's dinosaur creations but pictures many of the stars of this early science fiction classic. Lloyd Hughes, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone and Bessie Love are all here. The poster had a very small hole in the middle horizontal fold, on the right side in Hughes' chin. There is also some minor reinforcement to a couple of small crossfold separation. It is unbacked and displays beautifully. Very Fine.
