<https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253A11x14%2520still/13.html>.In
addition to 8x10 stills, studios also made deluxe "oversized" stills!
These11x14 stills were made for most movies along with 8" x 10" stills, but
very few survive.While most theaters from the 1920s on received 8x10
stills, very few received 11x14 stills, which were often printed on a
higher quality paper stock than the 8x10s.Most of them were sent to media
outlets, like newspapers and magazines, so they could have the highest
quality images for their promotional stories about upcoming movies and
current stars!Some speculate that these larger higher quality stills were
mostly only sent to major theaters and virtually never to regular theaters,
which would help account for their far greater rarity than 8x10 stills,
which were sent to EVERY theater, no matter the size!They are often the
work of famous studio photographers (such as Clarence Sinclair Bull, Irving
Lippman, Elmer Fryer, Scotty Welbourne, Eugene Robert Richee, Bert
Longworth, Otto Dyar, Bert Six, Ruth Harriet Louise, Madison Lacy, Mac
Julian and Ken Lobben)!They would often be credited on the still, either
with a stamp on the back or an embossed credit on the bottom of the
front.Note that in the 1960s, a few dealers acquired original negatives and
transparencies from some studio photographs, and starting in the late 1960s
they made and sold restrikes of some of these, and sometimes in an 11x14
size.HOWEVER EVERY ONE OF THESE 111 DELUXE STILLS (SINGLES AND SETS) IN
THIS SET OF AUCTIONS ARE STUDIO ORIGINAL AND NOT RESTRIKES (and we
guarantee that; see below)!A special note on the rarity of these mostly
deluxe "oversized" stills. They are SO rare that it takes us a year or more
to be consigned enough of these to run a special selection of them! They
really are THAT rare!Sometimes it can be difficult to tell a restrike (or
reissue) from an original, which is where it becomes such a giant plus to
buy these from eMoviePoster.com auctions, for two reasons!The first is that
we have auctioned many thousands of these 11x14 deluxe stills over the past
years, and we are experts in telling originals from restrikes or
reissues.The second is our Lifetime Guarantee (which NO other auction
offers) where we stand behind every item we auction forever! You can 100%
trust that all of these oversized stills are exactly what we say they
are!You will love looking at these, even if it is solely to "window shop".
While they range from the 1920s to the 1970s, the bulk of them are from the
"Golden Age of Hollywood", the 1930s and 1940s!As of now (with just 7 days
to go), many of these are at insanely low prices! Of course, many will get
more bids, but some won't, and many will likely sell for VERY low prices,
but YOU can't get those great deals if you aren't bidding, so why not look
these over very soon?And by the way, we ALSO have one of our very best
selection of 8" x 10" stills EVER as well,
at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253A8x10%2520still/13.html
<https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/tag/xtype%253A8x10%2520still/13.html>
These
contain 370 auctions of stills (268 singles, and 102 sets, with from 2 to
24 in each set).Whether you are a long time still collector or new to
collecting them, you absolutely should consider buying some or many of
these (both 11x14s and 8x10s) because this truly IS a "once-in-a-lifetime"
offering!*
