This original U.S. one-sheet poster was issued in 1955 by 20th Century-Fox for the theatrical release of The Tall Men, a Western directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Clark Gable, Jane Russell, and Robert Ryan. Based on the novel by Heck Allen (writing as Clay Fisher), the film follows two brothers as they drive a massive cattle herd from Texas to Montana, set against a backdrop of frontier conflict, ambition, and shifting loyalties in the post–Civil War American West. The poster features bold, period Western imagery centered on its three leads, with Jane Russell prominently positioned between Gable and Ryan. The composition emphasizes scale and movement, reflecting the film’s themes of expansion and endurance. Strong color saturation—particularly in the warm earth tones and vivid costume accents—gives the piece immediate wall presence, typical of mid-1950s studio advertising design. This example is linen-backed using archival, acid-free materials, a standard conservation method that stabilizes the paper while enhancing displayability. Restoration appears professional and consistent with industry norms for a poster of this age, allowing the imagery to present cleanly while retaining its original character. The NSS number 55/373 confirms its year of release and studio distribution. While The Tall Men is not among the rarest Western titles, it holds steady collector interest due to its strong cast—particularly Clark Gable in one of his later Western roles—and the enduring appeal of classic studio-era frontier films. As such, it represents a solid and visually compelling entry point into 1950s Western poster...

Frank Nelson Wilcox (American, 1887-1964) Construction on the Pass, Montana, c. 1950 Unsigned Watercolor on Whatman board 22 x 30 inches Provenance: From the estate of Frank Nelson Wilcox Frank Nelson Wilcox (October 3, 1887 – April 17, 1964) was a modernist American artist and a master of watercolor. Wilcox is described as the "Dean of Cleveland School painters," though some sources give this appellation to Henry Keller or Frederick Gottwald. Wilcox was born on October 3, 1887 to Frank Nelson Wilcox, Sr. and Jessie Fremont Snow Wilcox at 61 Linwood Street in Cleveland, Ohio. His father, a prominent lawyer, died at home in 1904 shortly before Wilcox' 17th birthday. His brother, lawyer and publisher Owen N.

Weegee (1899-1968) was equally fascinated and inspired by cinema and all of its tangents, from Hollywood movie stars to ordinary civilians going to the movies. While Weegee is typically associated with crime/disaster images, the broad theme of "entertainment" is a major component of his oeuvre. An interesting and provocative sub-genre of his cinema-related work are his images of couples (often heavy-petting) in movie theatres. Recent scholarship has established that many of Weegee's supposed clandestine images were actually staged or arranged with friends or co-operative strangers. Nevertheless, Weegee created these photographs in the dark with an array of clever techniques including infrared film, filtered flashbulb and triangular prism lens. Employed in shots such as this one, the prism lens would allow the artist to “see around corners,” useful at times when his subjects were in compromising locations. These images of kissing couples, Weegee wrote in 1959, were “his best seller, year in and year out.” "Sailor and GIrl at the Movies...
