Thank you, I am learning every time I work with paper fill. At first it was intimidating to me, but it is rather simple with practice. Today’s restoration, I was initially intimidated by the clay paper, but found it easy to clean and work with by taking extra care of handling.
The size is a 21x28, not sure of the year, I am bad at not taking before pics, but these were clean, just the normal food marks. The one had some pen marks, but that was easy to remove.
Very minor it was in good shape when I received it. I did not use a lot of water to minimize wrinkles, the few it had I was able to smooth out with squeegee.
This is one of the hardest restorations I had to do, it was separating at 4 fold lines and heavy wrinkles and water damage and toning. Top results after restoration. This is from my collection so I was happy with results.
Yes,this is the oldest. After restoration of over 100 I have restored posters from all decades and types. Movie posters are my favorite. I have also restored circus, and war posters.
Images of film posters from the 1910's are very hard to find.
I have noticed that the same image of Ambrose's Cup Of Woe's appears on the IMDb website. This then leads me to wonder Duke if the IMDb and your poster are perhaps the one in the same poster version. Any thoughts?
I think you are spot on. I looked it up and it is definitely the before picture. I restored this for Morris Everett Jr. they probably got the image from his huge collection. That is a great pickup, thanks. Andy

You are certainly correct there Bruce, and I usually do this as my first search option choice, so I don't know what happened, and to why I didn't do so this time around. Completely bypassed you.
Is there only one example of this poster that may exist then? Judging by the condition of Andy's pre restoratitn itage and Bruce's images one would have to believe that two individual copies of this poster exist.
Two copies of the same 1916 film poster title would have to be incredibly rare.
I have restored many one of a kind posters for Mr, Everett. I agree with his philosophy of saving posters. Thanks Bruce, I too forgot to look it up on your site, as it is very comprehensive. I do know that Mr. Everett had me restore it to save one poster at a time. I restored using conservation techniques. Thank you everyone.
Doing more investigating, both picturrs are the same on EMP site, msking this a one if a kind.

My concern mainly is with the differences in the below section of the poster in three areas. The areas being the border on the left hand, the creasing of the fold line on the far right of the image, and the tear on the right side border. Enlarging the two image sections on the fight hand side will assist.
I am thinking could two posters been stored together when the slight damage to the posters occurred? This could easily explain the minor differences. Love to hear what any other members think?
I know the two I sold were the same because the original buyer re-consigned it years later.
I don't know if the "third" one is the same or different.
