Tales of the brave men and women who pioneered the Old West have fascinated not only the citizens of The United States but people from all over the globe.
Dime novels, rodeos, Wild West Shows, popular fiction, radio, television and other forms of mass media have all had their part in the mythos of the Western.
In Schiffer Publications’ The Art Of The Classic Western Movie Poster! book, edited by Ed Hulse and foreword written by Jay Dee Witney, readers are given a tour of the gallery of Western movie posters since the art form first began.
The oversize hardbound book is bulging with full-color photos showcasing the very best of Western movie posters.
Starting with Silent Era of films the book progresses through the years with large scale legendary Westerns starring such greats as John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.
Other Westerns spotlighted include movie serials, historical accounts, adult Westerns, classics, singing cowboys, cowboys versus Indians, Western homesteads, forgotten heroes, modern classics and the twilight of the Westerns.
The stunning and beautifully compiled book contains anecdotal, historical and poignant text.
It’s a Westerns lover’s dream come true. Saddle up! It’s time to ride the high plains!
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. John 15:26
