Those are 2 totally different posters.
One based on the other, with one redrawn, based on the other's artwork.
It's more than just color and slight printing differences.
As quick examples-- Look at the witch's nose (its profile), or Glinda
or Dorothy's faces.. or the letter 'g" in the word "Songs." All the
same pose and look and general placement, but NOT the same drawn/
created imagery. Not at all (imo).

Thanks Allen
All good information, although I don't think it was the evil drink
in this case that would explain all these the differences!

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.

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.
