Roland Coudon

A French <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/collectibles/vintage-poster/film" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">movie poster</a> for the film <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=ding+song&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">King Kong</a>.<ul><li>Roland Coudon (French, 1903-1954).</li><li>Universal Pictures.</li><li>Grande Style A poster.</li><li>Linen backed.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> Created for the movie’s first release in France, it is one of only two poster styles produced for the Grande format for that debut. What truly sets this poster apart is its unique design: instead of depicting the more familiar Empire State Building scene, Coudon’s artwork captures the dramatic sacrifice moment on Skull Island, with Kong illuminated by torches as he is introduced to the audience. Produced as a stone lithograph, this poster is widely regarded as one of the finest images created for King Kong, skillfully conveying the intense emotions of fear and awe central to the film. Due to its extreme rarity, with very few surviving examples known to exist, this poster is an invaluable treasure for serious collectors and film historians alike. More than just a promotional item, the French Grande Style A King Kong poster is a stunning artefact of cinematic history, capturing the raw power and mystique that have made the film an enduring classic.

A French <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/luxury/collectibles/vintage-poster/film" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">movie poster</a> for <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Walt%20Disney&amp;tab=objects&amp;sortBy=bsp_dotcom_prod_en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Walt Disney</a>'s Silly Symphony.<ul><li>Walt Disney Studios.</li><li>RKO Radio Films.</li><li>Stock poster.</li><li>To-date this is believed to be the only known surviving example.</li><li>Linen backed.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> This poster was purchased in 1995 and has been in a private collection since that time. This magical poster depicts many of the characters from Disney's Silly Symphony short cartoons, including several images of Mickey and Mini, Donald Duck, Goofy, Three Little Pigs, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod, together with Max Hare. In the 1930s it was usual for French cinemas to allocate a certain time for their features. This would enable them to choose a number of short films to be shown before the main feature. This is a stock poster, which enabled the individual cinemas to add their own text in the blank box in the middle of the piece to advertise wh﻿at would be shown. In the case of this particular poster the program was forty minutes with Mickey, color animation - how to make animated drawings, Donald's Nephew, The Good and the Bad and Pretty Little Elves.
