THE SON OF TARZAN One Sheet (28" x 41.5"); Episode 3: "The Girl of the Jungle"; Stone Lithograph ; The Bradleigh Vinson Collection Very Fine- on Linen National Film Corporation of America, 1920 This one sheet poster depicts Jack, the son of Tarzan (Gordon Griffith), protecting young Meriem, the girl of the jungle (Mae Giraci), from a nearby chimpanzee. It is from Episode 3: "The Girl of the Jungle," part of the popular 15-chapter silent serial. This beautiful stone lithograph has been professionally linen-backed and includes expert touch-ups to some areas of wear. Restoration work addressed a vertical tear starting at the upper border, along with spot touch-ups to a few very small areas. The borders were airbrushed to fix pinholes, edge tears, and chips, and the linen backing was trimmed to the edges of the poster. Overall, the restoration was excellent, making this silent serial poster an outstanding representation of Tarzan as depicted during the Silent Era. "The Son of Tarzan" is a 15-chapter 1920 serial following Jack Clayton, or Korak, the son of Tarzan and Jane. Adapted from Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1915 novel and produced by David P. Howells, it was directed by Arthur J. Flaven and Harry Revier, premiering in summer 1920 and concluding in January 1921. A summary of the first three Tarzan films served as a prologue, and Jack Hoxie was originally cast as Tarzan but withdrew before filming. This lot will be auctioned on Friday, March 6th.
