Vintage Black
Cinema
Vivid reminders of a bygone era will be celebrated
in June through Vintage Black Cinema stamps based on
five vintage movie posters. Whether spotlighting the
talents of entertainment icons or documenting
changing social attitudes and expectations, these
posters now serve a greater purpose than publicity
and promotion. They are invaluable pieces of
history, preserving memories of cultural phenomena
that otherwise might have been forgotten. The stamp
pane was designed by Carl Herrman of Carlsbad, CA.
The stamp images depict movie posters that promoted:
• The 1921 silent film The Sport of the Gods.
• The first screen appearance of Duke Ellington in
the 1929 film Black and Tan.
• Princess Tam-Tam, a French film issued in 1935
that was one of four movies to star Josephine Baker.
• 1929’s Hallelujah, one of the first major-studio
films to feature an all-black cast.
• The 1945 short Caldonia, which highlighted the
talents of singer, saxophonist and “jump blues”
bandleader Louis Jordan, and is often cited as a
precursor to today’s music videos.
