great info Bruce,,,I bought out 400 1st editions ofthe book Nickelodeon
theaters and thier music by David Q Bowers from 1986,,, as he had
remainders it was re-released later
why i liked the book was that inthe start of movies the exhibitors would
make the ads fromlike bedsheets and various signage before the r was
onesheets..
U told Bowers i would make sure i got the wordout on the stuff as he did
a great job..he was a original partner i think with Heritage,,and the
bowers and Ruddy Gallery selling Rare coind in wolfsboro new Hampshire
he wrote many eclectic book on unique people like a womanthat did the
Moxie soda ads..and he collected everything like Fire engines,, and soda
fgountains...andthen would doa book onthe subjet
I sold him 193 Movie magazines he used for research on the book,, and he
sold them back to me..motion picture weeekly
he was one of my early customers so it must have been between 77 and
80???
I stillhavea few hardbacks with DJand also a few softbound
I sold them for 29.95
I gave many away to friendin Filmandmanysai they neversaw it before
as dave gave me a great deal on buying them andthatwhyithink he
re-released them later as he regreted selling them so resonable
But it was my small way to preserve the early pioneers of
exhibition...also the organs and musical devices...i also heard the hand
crank projectors would speed upand slow downas they played the movies to
add excitement and drama...
they also added sound effects with the various devises..loaded with pics
ofold theaters it was a treat to see how the early guys started
In 1910 in Toledo the magician axander thegreat had his magic gear
burnup in Toledo
Alexander Victor funding by thelily white washing machine co of Toledo
started the Victor animatigraph and moved to Davenport Iowa
Toledo also had Strong electric who did 65 % of all lamp house inthe usa
and also mad the super trooper follow spots that Frank Sinatra demanded
in the rider of his contracts,,, as the arc light was the best in Carbon
arc,Harry Strong in 1923 invented the feed system so the light would
stay
the early stone lithos wher made on slabs of Bavarian Rock sheets
why the matrix were lost was after a poster was printed they could
grind the rock smooth to etch in a new artwork with acid. so eventually
the stone was broken and discarded..
c
fascinating huh??

Those are the rarest of the rare! Modern U.S. one-sheets did not
really start until 1909 (with a very few exceptions) and all the other
U.S. sizes started later.
There area number of Edison stock posters from the turn of the
century, a few Barnsdale one-sheets from around 1903, a few Vitagraph
one-sheets from 1907, and a few Biograph one-sheets from 1909, and a
few odd-size Italian, French and Austrailan pre-1910 posters, and that
is about all there is!
If you were to expand to 1914 (the start of WWI) you would add a great
deal.
Best of luck, and I would love to know what you find!

I'm looking for movie posters from the period between 1895 and 1910.
Any country, any title might qualify, as long the poster is from
that period.
