DESIGNER UNKNOWN THE JEWEL THIEVES OUTWITTED. 1913. 40x29 3/4 inches, 101 1/2x75 1/2 cm. Chorley & Pickersgill, Ltd., London. Condition B+ / B: restoration along horizontal folds through image; skinning and abrasions in image; tears and creases at edges; pin-holes in corners. Little information remains about this early, twelve-minute silent movie, whose plot has simply been described as "police perusing jewel thieves by motor car and aeroplane." The aircraft appears to be modeled after a Voisin, and this is one of the earliest British film posters to depict an airplane.
