Description

David Copperfield (MGM, 1935). Pre-War Australian Daybill (15" X 40").
Talk about star-studded! Starring W.C. Fields in one of his most memorable roles, Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sullivan, Edna May Oliver and Freddie Bartholomew in his first American film, this wonderful adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel is a tour-de-force for everyone involved. Paper on this title has always been fairly difficult to acquire, with most collectors settling for the occasional lobby card or herald that comes to auction. This Australian daybill, with a particularly nice image of Fields and Bartholomew, is the first we've seen, and perfect for any lover of classic film or fine literature. Fantastic stone litho printed by the Simmons litho company. There is a pasted snipe in the upper imprint, a hole in the upper imprint, pinholes in the lower corners, some staining in the upper left and right borders, and staining in the left and lower borders. Folded, Fine/Very Fine.
