1955137035Los Angeles: Joseph Cossman 1955. Original merchandising poster for a non-existent film circa 1955 created by entrepreneur Joseph Cossman for no other purpose than to sell the poster via mail order to individuals who wished to live in a world where they co-starred with Jayne Mansfield as their romantic female lead. In this case the lucky man was Ernie Cisney. <br/><br/>The poster was printed first as a four-color poster lacking the name of the co-star below Jayne Mansfield's and when the orders came rolling in the purchasing party's name would be added. Apart from the names of Cossman apparently the inventor of "Cosmo-Color" and Mansfield-along with a wild appropriation of the Fawcett Gold Medal logo at the top right corner-none of the names on the poster represent real persons in the film industry. <br/><br/>Cossman was a mail-order magnate responsible for the invention and marketing of such memorable 1950s products as the Spud Gun and the Ant Farm marketed entirely through comic books newspapers and magazines. The poster here represents an attempt on Cossman's part to sell posters as inventions rather than an advertisement of an actual film. Though it no doubt never crossed Crossman's mind a fascinating early example of meta-advertising. <br/><br/>Research has produced two other examples of the poster images only with the same design but different fictional names this being the only actual example of the poster we have handled or seen. <br/><br/>17.5 x 28 inches. Folded with a few pinholes at the corners a couple of short separations at the folds and a tiny chip at one corner. Very Good overall. Joseph Cossman unknown books

FOUR VOLUME SET of Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (or Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees) - a Japanese play, one of the three most popular and famous in the Kabuki repertoire, originally written in 1747 for Bunraku (traditional Japanese puppet theater), and adapted to kabuki the following year. The Japanese photographer Takashi Kijima (1920-2011), known mainly for his photographs of nudes and flowers, is the winner of the prestigious advertising award from Life for his 1960 advertisements for Yawata Iron & Steel. Since 1945, Kijima had also been following his own, noncommercial interest in photographing b&w nudes outdoors: his photographing of nude women directly in front of Sakurada gate of the imperial palace in Tokyo very early one morning in 1958 caused a great uproar; his 1958 exhibition, titled "Ra", of nude photographs was the second held in Japan (the first was by Kira Sugiyama), visited by more than thirty thousand people. Kijima also specialized in kimono and until very late in his life was photographing models for the magazine Kimono Salon. The four beautifully designed volumes are presented in their original cloth bound case with Japanese-style bone clasps. The colors for the covers of the four volumes in this set are taken from the yellow-green, orange and black stripes of the traditional broad striped curtain used on the Kabuki stage. Also included is a traditional Japaneses red cloth sized 360x360mm. [CASE]: 275x265mm. Case slightly dust-stained. [ALL VOLUMES]: 265x250mm. 812 pages (each volume contains 203 pages). Cloth-bound Hardcover with sticker and embossed light blue lettering on on front cover. White lettering on spine. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare, beautifully designed and packed set of four large albums with numerous photographs by one of the most influential 20th-century Japanese photographers, is in very good condition. PLEASE NOTE: This item is overweight. We may ask for extra shipping costs. On purchase of this item, shipping by Surface Mail is included free of charge.
