I always knew there was one out there I just didnt know where.
In fact, I swear that Bruce sold it in about 1992 during one of his leave a message on my telephone auctions. He doesnt remember (which Im sure means that Im wrong), but I vividly remember seeing the one sheet picture in the catalogue he used to send out before telephone bidding began. As I recall, it was priced at about $1,500-2,000 and I thought Ill wait to buy an expensive poster like that. Im sure I can pick it up another time. LOL I was such a dope when I first started my collection. I passed up so many great posters (including the impossible to find Mrs. Miniver in NM condition for $750 from the G. Nelson collection) thinking that Id buy the inexpensive ones first because I could get so many more for my money. Then Id come back later and buy all the expensive ones. (I eventually found another Mrs. Miniver, VF, but it took YEARS AND YEARS!) I passed on NM Casablanca OSs at $2,000, $3,000, $3,500, etc until I finally paid $9,000 for one in Fine condition. Man, I was a naïve beginner collector! I was lucky enough to grab the only original 1939 GWTW Style CF (plume style) OS Ive ever seen outside the Academy in NM condition for $7,500, though. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds an acorn.

The reproduction of the Cavalcade o/s in the Academy's collection is a photograph sized 41x27. It is not a painting or recreation but was produced in the late 1980s from an original that was in an institutional collection. The whereabouts of the original o/s from which our reproduction was produced are not known.
