Description

This is a restored copy of Tarzan of the Apes, a chromolithograph movie poster published in 1920 for Goldwyn Pictures Corp. and Numa Pictures directed by Harry Revier. This movie was soon renamed Revenge of Tarzan.
The original large paper poster is one hundred years old and it was made from several large sheets of paper. Vintage Hollywood posters of this era were inexpensively produced and not intended to be used for more than a short period, therefore few of the originals survive in good condition. The seams between the large chromolithographed original sections use to manufacture this poster are visible.
This illustration portrays an athletic young Tarzan wearing only a loincloth swinging through the jungle trees to rescue a frightened Jane from a menacing wild African jungle lion.
