    Description

    Temptation (Micheaux Film Corporation, 1935). Fine/Very Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27" X 41").
    This is a Heritage first time offer and is exciting in that all of the "separate cinema" posters are scarce due to a limited distribution. Oscar Micheaux (1884-1951) was an African-American author, film director and independent producer of more than 44 films. He is regarded as the first major African-American feature filmmaker, and a prominent producer of race film. This film, starring Ethel Moses and Andrew S. Bishop, was made for a budget of $15,000. This rare poster prior to being professionally placed on linen had a chip from the upper left corner which extended into the yellow field as well as fold separation and some border chipping. The poster now displays beautifully and the borders have been airbrushed.

    Please see full-color, enlargeable images above for more details.
