[QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 9736288, member: 2653"]I picked the other day a commemorative print by Walt Disney for their 1930's animated film " snow white and the 7 dwarfs". Probably it is from the early nineties. But quite nice though not original or vintage. Finding or picking vintage posters( film or otherwise) at a bargain price is quite hard, though they are available from dealers with a higher price tag. Personally I am fascinated by vintage art deco posters in general and hope to get some in the future. P.s. it is not within the topic, but I have come across several sites who sell digital reproductions of these vintage posters( also some ebay listings) that create deliberate fuzzy descriptions ... For instance the way they use the word "original" (though they dont claim having an original piece, and may be using the term somehow to say they offer prints of the original poster) gives a wrong impression to the non suspecting . Also they tend to leave out the term "reproduction", though they refer "prints" expecting you to read between the lines... quite misleading to non suspecting folks ...they are clear "legally" speaking as they are just playing with words.Hence it is "caveat emptor" at the end of the day.
