Jeffrey,
I couldn't tell you specifically what Polish poster is the oldest, and I'd venture no one else can, any more than telling you what American poster is the oldest. Logically, I would think that Polish posters, in one form or another, have existed for as long as movies have been shown in Poland, which, again, I'm guessing, but I would say date back to the very early years of the 20th century. I'm not a collector of Polish posters in any way, not even close, but I have an illustration of a Polish poster dating back to 1914! It was for the showing of Zycie Zydow w Palestynie(Lives of Jews in Palestine), at the Kinematograf "ODEON" in The Royal Town of Leczyca, Poland. 2 Days only!! :) The poster itself is in Duotone, with a lot of text, and reminds me a lot of those Swedish "Inserts" which some of you may be familiar with.

What is the oldest polish poster you have seen? Any pre-war posters? Surely there must some. And were they always so original looking? _____ From: Walton, Jeffrey Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 1:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: polish posters Hey, a few weeks ago we were talking about Polish Posters and their artwork.. Heritage has a bunch of cool <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/search_results.php?ic=homepage_search&Ntk =SI_Titles&Ntt=polish&N=54+793+794+791+792> ones.. I have to admit I'm partial to the Godzilla <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7019&Lot_No=85499> , never seen it at auction before only in Ron's book. The Return <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7019&Lot_No=85503> of the Jedi is very unique and I think one of the best images on poster for this film. High <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7019&Lot_No=85730> Plains Drifter is a very iconic image and if I collected Westerns I'd own it. And I've seen two versions for Raiders <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7019&Lot_No=85994> of the Lost Ark.but this image is new to me. Got me to thinking what's the oldest Polish Poster out there? I see Godzilla is from 57 and High <http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7019&Lot_No=85439> Noon from 59. _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
