The Kid
Beautiful hand painted original vintage movie poster of the Charlie Chaplin silent comedy, The Kid (1921) for sale.
This is an actual surviving original Charlie Chaplin movie poster of The Kid, which was released in India by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC).
The Kid was Charlie Chaplin's first full-length movie, making this old hand drawn poster highly collectible.
Designed, printed and circulated in India somewhere in the 1970s/1980s during the film's release in India, this poster was originally intended for publicity but never ended up being used.
This expertly hand drawn minimalistic original poster features a stunning portrait of Charlie Chaplin in a still from the film, where he is seen holding on to his adopted son. A tiny black and white silhouette of Chaplin in his tramp avatar from the film is seen pasted at the bottom.
The Kid is a 1921 silent film written, produced, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin. This was Charlie Chaplin's first full-length movie. It was a huge success and featured an intriguing mix of comedy and drama, leading it to be labeled as a “dramedy”.
In December 2011, The Kid was chosen to be preserved in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

Original vintage hand drawn movie poster of the epic Hindi film Sholay (1975) for sale.
This is one of the rarest surviving original posters of the greatest film ever made in Indian cinema from the era that the film was first released in, i.e. 1975. Printed and circulated somewhere in the mid 1970s, this hand painted poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
The poster features spectacular hand drawn artwork by master poster designer Parchure from Pamart Studio. The three leading characters of the film, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar and Dharmendra are seen in a brilliant hand painted rendition in the poster. True to the title and plot of the film, the entire background is seen engulfed in flames. At the bottom of the poster, Bollywood poster painter Parchure uses his sketch mastery to depict key scenes including the climax of the film. The sketches at the bottom coupled with the vibrant colors and portraiture at the top of the poster make it one of the most desirable hand drawn Bollywood posters of them all.

Original vintage hand painted Bollywood movie poster of the epic Hindi film Sholay (1975) for sale.
Featured here for sale is a rare surviving original first print poster of the greatest Bollywood film ever made in Indian cinema, Sholay.
Printed and circulated during the first release of Sholay (somewhere in the mid 1970s), this vintage hand painted Bollywood movie poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
This is an actual publicity poster from the era that the film was first released in, i.e. 1975. This old Bollywood movie poster was originally designed on a hand painted canvas by one of the most sought after Hindi film poster artists/painters, C. Mohan, making it highly collectible.
The poster bears the signature style of C. Mohan’s brilliance, with superbly hand painted passport styled portraits of the lead actors on the top. In the design of this old Bollywood movie poster, C. Mohan capitalizes on the two USPs of the film, the first being its impressive star cast with an announcement marked in bold on the top that says: “The greatest star-cast ever assembled!” and the second its epic storyline, with an announcement that reads: “The greatest story ever told!”
Bollywood movie poster painter C. Mohan focuses on typography by giving maximum prominence to the title of the film, which appears in a brilliant 3D styled font engulfed in flames. C. Mohan’s original signature is clearly seen on the bottom right hand corner of this authentic old movie poster.
