Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Thank you. Mine might be a faded or just a different colour variation. I was lucky to get it as a buy-it-now on eBay, relatively expensive but still a good addition.HONDO said:Rick said:do you know the year of release for this one-sheet
As far as I can see both the two posters are of the same design that was printed for the original release.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Linenbacking and restoration definately have their place. I've had and have several posters which you can't handle without a bit coming off.
If there is MINIMAL (and I mean minimal) amounts of restoration needed to bring the poster back to life and there are references available, I dont mind that. However, anything I get restored is for me to enjoy...I dont think about the resale value...Ive had so many done, that I would never get my money back if I tried to sell them. But I love the posters and they bring me so much joy.
When there is no reference available, but you need to stablise the paper, just leave the bits that are missing, alone...dont guess.
I used that Mysterious Pilot as my inspiration for this one:
I can't find another copy anywhere...not a heavy hitting poster but I love it. Loved it since I laid eyes on it, but it was falling about. So had it backed, but left alone...No guessing what should be there.

I think the faded one is the later NSFA rerelease from the 70s I think?:HONDO said:
I thought that I would include here, along with the original coloured daybill, the same design that has faded drastically over the years. One can still faintly see the yellow stripes. One has to wonder how this was allowed to have happened?
Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Gosh, I would love to get a good look at the press sheet...and those are some lovely stills.
As part of the restoration of the film, the team used some stills to fill in the parts that were missing or too damaged to keep the original feel of the film accurate.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Now for the 1927 silent film version of For The Term Of His Natural Life. I was surprised at the amount of surviving advertising material still existing today. Normally Australian posters for Australian films from the 1920's are indeed very difficult to locate. 
Two different style rare daybill images. (From the home of Ves / theartofmovieposters)
A glass lantern slide. (National Film And Sound Archive / NFSA).
Press sheet add blocks. (National Film And Sound / NFSA).
One sheet ( also from Ves). Movie herald (John / Moviemem).
The above four images of poster advertising are courtesy of the National Film And Sound Archive/NFSA.

Re: For the Term of His Natural Life Screening Melbourne
Great to hear Ves that the screening was wonderful. Had I lived in Melbourne I would have also attended as well

I'd recommend people look out for these shows, they do them on a regular basis (with different classic films). Just check the Capitol Theatre website.
