US Advance Mini Poster Printer's Proof x 2 ROLLED 23" x 29" NM C9 UNUSED

FEB 11

Unused!! Well preserved. The complete measurements of this double image poster are 23" x 29". They are two small posters no where near normal one sheet size.

These are printer's proofs of advance mini posters that were issued before the film came out. Apparently these mini posters are pretty rare as we had never even seen or heard of one before we got this. Rolled, never folded. This comes from the collection of a former employee of the print shop where this was printed. This is a "test" poster or "printer's proof".

About Printer's Proofs: Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of test posters. Commonly, they would leave the color chart on the left edge of the poster, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster. They would then be shown to people in a position to "OK" them. Once they were approved, the final posters would be printed and the proofs normally were destroyed. A printer's proof is far more rare than a regular one sheet poster, and there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction. A true oddity!!
