The Brass Bullet - Episode Thirteen
Chapter thirteen of an eighteen-week serial, printed to be pasted up and painted over.
What
A 1918 episode poster for the Universal serial The Brass Bullet, issued for the thirteenth of its eighteen chapters.
Why
Serial advertising was the most disposable printing the industry produced - a fresh sheet every week, discarded the moment the next chapter opened. Survival rates are correspondingly poor, and the serial itself is lost.
Notice
The near-square proportion, unusual among surviving film paper and a reminder that serial formats were never as standardised as feature sheets.
“A week's suspense, printed to be thrown away.”
