Description

Nutty Notes (Universal, 1929). Fine- on Linen. One Sheet (27.25" X 40.75").
Nutty Notes was the 61st Oswald the Lucky Rabbit short produced overall and the ninth produced by Walter Lantz (future creator of Woody Woodpecker). As only short portions of the one-reeler survive, we must turn to Motion Picture News for their glowing review: "It should shine brightly on any program conceived and presented as it is with great ingenuity. This undoubtedly will win a large share of laughs from any appreciative audience." Oswald posters from the late 1920s are extremely rare for any title, and with this one featuring what appears to be Oswald's love, Ortensia, leaning put the window in the upper left image, it is a must-have for fans of early animation. Tears, fold splitting, and edge chips (including a significant piece out at right) have all been addressed by expert restoration. The linen has been trimmed to the border.
