Original US film poster for the 1924 film Thief of Bagdad.
This 1924 American silent film was directed by Raoul Walsh. Douglas Fairbanks produced, wrote the story and stars in the film. The story is an adaptation of One Thousand and One Nights, in which a thief falls in love with the daughter of the Caliph of Baghdad. It is understood to have been Fairbanks’s favourite film, which suited his athletic build. This was one of the most expensive films of the 1920s, with its magical special effects and lavish Arabian-style sets. The artwork by Anton Grot on this rare silent film poster is truly magical, and captures Douglas Fairbanks as he flies on the winged-horse in the night-sky. Posters on this important silent film are highly sought-after. This exceptionally rare poster has only surfaced a few times.
The poster is in excellent condition, with the colours remaining very bright. Very minor restoration to folds, and the cream border, that does not affect the artwork. The poster is conservation paper backed and conservation framed with a Sapele wood frame and card mounts and UV plexiglass. The size given is before framing the framed size is 28 x 34 in. (71 x 86.3 cm)
The poster would be boxed for shipping and shipped.
