1930, New York. Stock certificate for 25 shares of the Martin Johnson African Expedition Corp. Black/Brown/Yellow. Litho. Martin Johnson (1884 - 1937) and his wife Osa Johnson (1894 - 1953) were explorers who pioneered the use of motion pictures to document their travels. They circled the world six times, bringing their experiences to the screen for all to see. their most famous film, Congorilla (for which project this certificate was presumably issued to fund), took two years to make and required the husband and wife team live with pygmies for seven months. A rather interesting certificate funding an important early motion picture explorer. Pen cancelled and Extremely Fine.
