  • I have been contacted by the original owner's Son and Granddaughter and they have passed along this info to me. I very much appreciate it. Robert Curran and Harold Braucht rented a little space at the Oklahoma Publishing Co in the corner of a room in 1933 with one roller press. Robert was in charge of the art & production, and Harold was the sales and promotion guy. The early posters had the art drawn on wood, for each color and the wood carved away to elevate the printing surface. They then used block letter type faces to complete the layout. As the business grew they moved into a couple of locations on their own, and purchased more presses from a firm in Chicago.Those huge presses were so loud, almost all of the printers had hearing problems later in life.
    They were early users of lithography printing, making their own plates and photographic work. They pretty much stayed with entertainment printing. Circuses, and Amusement attractions. They did print a world war 2 bond poster, with the Minute Man and the Pioneer Woman statue on it. One may still be hanging in the state capital.
    They did snipe printing for the Clyde Beatty Circus, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. To save the cost of shipping paper, sent the plates to a little shop they established in Lodi Ca.
    During WW2, they enticed one of the Carnivals to set up in downtown Okla. City near the Civic Center to entertain the military men stations at Will Rogers, and Navy men from Norman. Later they booked Broadway show touring company's in Okla. City, bought a movie theatre

  • ORIGINAL PRINTER'S COPY, IT WAS ORIGINALLY A STOCK POSTER PRINTED BY ARTCRAFT LITHO NEW YORK. COLORCRAFT THEN ADDED THE PLACE, DATE, AND TIME. IT APPEARS THAT A COLORCRAFT SNIPE WAS PLACED OVER THE ARTCRAFT INFO AND THEN COPIED AGAIN. THE FINISHED DESIGN WOULD THEN BE DEVELOPED INTO THE ACTUAL POSTER USED FOR THE EVENT. SO THIS POSTER IS STILL PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. AT THIS TIME I BELIEVE THEY STILL SENT THE FINISHED MOCK UP TO AN ENGRAVER AND A NEGATIVE WAS MADE AND FROM THAT PLATES WERE MADE

    • 14" X 22" 4 PLY CARDSTOCK, NO PIN HOLES OR TAPE, NEVER DISPLAYED, PAPER IS STRONG, VERY FINE CONDITION
