Dramatic promotional posters were hand-painted to raise awareness about movie showings in makeshift, mobile cinemas. These traveling cinemas were simply equipped with a television and sometimes a generator to show movies in areas where there was not electricity. Moving from village to village, movies were introduced throughout western Africa.<\/p>\n<p>&#xD;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Originally not intended to be objects of fine art, these posters were folded, rolled up and displayed outside, inheriting damages such as cracking and ripping.<\/p>\n<p>&#xD;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Escalette Collection at Chapman University was gifted over sixty of these unique posters from Jay and Helen Lavely and Mace Neufield, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_72\"
