Three Fat Men Olesha
Original vintage Soviet film poster for a family adventure movie Three Fat Men / Три толстяка directed by Aleksey Batalov and Iosif Shapiro based on a novel by Yury Olesha (1899-1960) written in 1924, the first revolutionary fairy tale in Soviet literature. Fantastic illustration featuring a young girl holding a torch lamp and leading a prisoner in chains through the dark night with three giant shadows of men wearing hats looming in the background, the title on the side. Olesha's book received mixed reviews when it was first published in 1927 with V. Boichevsky describing it as a sugar coated representation of revolution and A. Lunacharsky describing it as heartfelt apologetics by the artistic intelligentsia accepting the revolution; a dramatic version premiered in 1930 by Stanislavky and the Moscow Art Theater and a ballet version with music by V. Oransky was performed in 1935. Fair condition, folds, faint marks, small tears, pinholes and creases on margins.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
