From the collection of a retired theater manager, here is an authentic one-sheet poster, in very poor and fragile condition, of Chapter 10 of the 1915 lost serial, The Romance Of Elaine (serial title, The Flash). This piece is truly a "restorationist's special", as it is badly torn and deteriorated. However, as it is an original item that represents an officially lost film, it deserves to be preserved, and is being value priced in hopes that it can fall into the hands of someone who will recognize its historical significance, who has both the skills and tools to give it a new life.
This poster, which consists of five damaged pieces, has been laid flat and loosely assembled so that it might be photographed for display here. That image has been posted. Again, this is in no way a perfect item, and I do not want to give any impression that it is. Please contact me if you have any questions. I have more fine collectibles available, including lobby cards, 1 and 3-sheet posters, and 16mm and 35mm film, so be sure to check my other auctions.
