Hi David, I read the discussion and checked the pics provided. If there was only one printer (and one printing company location) for all the paper involved, it is obvious that the examples were manufactured at different times. However, the subtle differences can be due to different printers / locations / printing companies, as well as the restoration process.
I used to be a printer some time ago (1970s), on machines as small as an ABDick letterpress to as large as a Harris 35x45 or a Miehle 43x60. Large machines had their own platforms / walkways, and bars so the printer would not fall off the machine to prevent serious injury. All printers in those days were male and nearly all of the older printers were alcoholics. Differences in finished product (even in the same plant) could be due to (among others) different machines, printers, registration, ink, plates, paper quality, what time of day finished product was manufactured (printers were less concerned as they continued to drink all day), indoor temperature and air conditioning (yeah, humidity played a heckuva part in printing). Now ... nearly every difference has now been corrected by improved technology. ad On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 1:52 AM, David <[email protected]> wrote: > There is some strong discussion going on in a forum about all many the > differences between an original Wizard Of OZ un-restored one sheet sold on > bidll.com recently and the linen backed one apparently sold some 12 years > ago on HA. > > http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/discussion/866/wizard-of-oz- > aust-one-sheet-spot-the-weird-differences > > Thoughts? > > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com > ___________________________________________________________________ > How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List > Send a message addressed to: > [email protected] > In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L > The author of this message is solely > responsible for its content. > Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
