Description

Tumbleweeds (United Artists, 1925). Folded, Very Fine+. Swedish One Sheet (25.3" X 35.5").
William S. Hart, the original screen cowboy and one of cinema's greatest silent film stars, began his film career in 1914 after years on the stage, ultimately starring in over seventy Westerns, more than fifty of which he also directed. Tumbleweeds, his final film, was released by United Artists, the pioneering company founded by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith, and Douglas Fairbanks to give artists creative control. A poignant farewell to both Hart's legendary career and the silent Western itself, Tumbleweeds captures the fading frontier spirit with sweeping vistas, stoic heroism, and a quiet meditation on freedom and progress. Presented in this lot in its Heritage debut is the Swedish one sheet for the film featuring an excellent portrait of Hart. It contains only minor flaws such as light edge/fold wear and creases, a few smudges and scuffs, a couple of minute border tears, and small graphite markings at the bottom right corner. Although previously folded, this poster will be shipped rolled.
