Over a year ago, I signed onto this forum while I was helping my wife
research a book she co-authored on hand-painted regional movie
posters. Since they were regarded as mere marketing materials,
produced and used only locally, they were just thrown out and the
whole history of this cottage industry slid into obscurity. My wife
and her cousin became fascinated by it when they were exposed to the
paintings of Batiste Madalena, arguably the most accomplished of these
regional artists. Almost by default they became the only experts in
this little known history and the Motion Picture Academy approached
them about doing a book on the subject. "Now Playing: Hand-Painted
Poster Art From the 1910s through the 1940s" is finally coming out
next month. It's still on pre-sale on Amazon.com, but you can see the
cover and a description at the publisher's site (they publish quite a
few Hollywood-oriented books):

While I was assisting in the research, members of this forum very
generously steered me toward historical sources that helped flesh out
the background for the book. I want to say a big thank you to all who
helped. Your forum may be more focused on studio posters, but you've
helped illuminate a sister niche in the history of movies.
