Great poster! If you look through many old pressbooks you often see ideas for cutting up 3 and 6 sheet posters parts and mounting on board for either indoor or outdoor display.
There was a shot floating around a couple of weeks back of a theatre with 2 or 3 KONG THREE SHEETS cut and board mounted on the awning outside the theatre. The best use of large paper I have ever seen suggested in a pressbook was the 1939 HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, where you could cut the cathedral out of a six sheet, mount it on boards, stick two ushers inside and make them walk around the streets like a four-legged sandwich board.
