My fellow MOPO-listas, I recently acquired a real mixed bag of movie posters at a local estate auction. There are some nice pieces such as a rolled R82 Raiders of the Lost Ark 1-sheet and a linen-backed R48 Saboteur 1-sheet, but there are also some virtually worthless examples such as a Brand of Fear (1949) 1S and a 6 Black Horses (1962) 1S. There’s a Pulp Fiction 1S which has tragically been stored extremely badly and I suspect nobody would want in its now sorry state.
While I decide what to do with them, I’d like to figure out if a poster which has been stored rolled in a cardboard tube and got wet at some point is worth rescuing. The water damage has caused all the paper at one end to fuse together, but before I discard it I’d like to know what it is in the unlikely event it’s worth the expense of a restorer's time. All I can see from the unstuck paper portion are the words “For those who have never see” on one line and “and those who have never forgo” on the next line. The letters are in black, and the background appears to be a monochrome image but the visible area I makes it too small to identify. I’ve put up a photo at <http://www.colinhunter.com/photos/IMG_5053.jpg> if anyone wants to take a look. So, anybody know what this is? Thanks.
