Description
Original Cody of the Pony Express (1950) US one sheet movie poster for the Columbia serial, not a reproduction. Directed as part of Columbia Pictures’ serial productions, the film stars Dickie Moore as a young William “Buffalo Bill” Cody and Jock Mahoney as Lt. Jim Archer.
This chapter-based Western serial follows Cody’s early adventures as a Pony Express rider, teaming with an undercover army officer to protect settlers and maintain control of the frontier against outlaw forces. Columbia serials of this period were known for their episodic storytelling and dynamic action sequences, designed for weekly theatrical audiences.
The poster features classic Western action imagery, with illustrated scenes of horseback pursuit and frontier conflict, alongside a smaller inset referencing Chapter 7, “Cody Gets His Man.” The artwork reflects mid-century American adventure poster design, emphasizing movement and narrative tension. The artist signature appears in the lower right corner, attributed to Cravat or Cravnt.
Printed as a lithograph, this poster represents the bold, illustrative style typical of studio-issued serial advertising materials of the era.
