Description

Bombs and Bums (Short Film Syndicate, 1926). Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (28" X 41").
In 1916, Bud Fisher licensed the production of Mutt and Jeff for animation with pioneers Charles Bowers and Raoul Barré of the Barré Studio. This resulted in 292 animated Mutt and Jeff shorts, making it the longest-running theatrical animated short series of the silent era, second only to Krazy Kat in terms of years. The series ran from 1916-1923 and 1925-1926, but an extremely tiny number of posters from any of these cartoons are known to have survived. A few shorts of the second run were re-shot in 1934 by the Modern Film Sales Corporation with the Kromocolor process and reissued with sound effects and music tracks from the usage of the Brunswick Sound System. This one-sheet is a Heritage first. Professional restoration addressed crossfold separations and chipping, small paper loss to left, borders and title lettering and background were airbrushed.
