The Lost World (First National, 1925). Swedish
<B>The Lost World (First National, 1925).</B></I> Swedish One Sheet (21.5" X 28.5"). A 1925 silent film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's book of the same name starring Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. This first version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien (doing an invaluable warm up for his work on the original "King Kong"). This film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The original movie posters for this film have always been scarce and very desirable due to its science fiction-related story elements. This fabulous original Swedish poster has the desirable "dinosaur on a rampage" artwork which is featured on the window card which we sold for almost $13,000 last year. The poster is rolled but for a fold 1.5" from the top border. There is a single pinhole in each corner. This is an absolutely stunning piece from an original classic. Rolled, Very Fine/Near Mint. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
