Laurel and Hardy Stock Poster (MGM, 1947). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy began working together in 1926 in a series of short films for Hal Roach. As they gained popularity, the pair starred in many full-length features throughout the 1930s and 1940s. One of the most successful and beloved comedic duos, they may have portrayed dim-witted bums, but their characterizations never lost their optimism, and their slapstick routines are cinematic magic. This one sheet was produced as a stock poster for use in theaters replaying their classic (and very popular) films. It had crossfold separations, fold wear, a tear in the top border, and small tears in the left border. There was also a paper loss at the center horizontal fold, and in the top and bottom borders, all of which have been expertly restored. This spectacular portrait of this incredible team would delight any fan. Fine on Linen.
