2005rif. 22557USA: 20th Century Fox 2005. An original movie poster for 'Robots' from 2005. Measuring 100cm x 68cm. SIGNED by Robin Williams Halle Berry Ewan McGregor Greg Kinnear Drew Carey Amanda Bynes and the director Chris Wedge. In very good condition indeed 'Robots' 2005 is an animated science-fiction comedy set in a world populated entirely by mechanical beings. Robin Williams voices 'Fender' a fast-talking scrap-collecting robot whose manic humour and improvisational energy dominate the film. The story follows idealistic inventor Rodney Copperbottom as he challenges corporate greed and planned obsolescence. Williams's performance provides anarchic comic relief while reinforcing the film's themes of creativity individuality and social responsibility beneath its colourful family-friendly surface. 20th Century Fox unknown

rif. 5845Livingston Montana Yellowstone National Park and other locales 1916-1918. Oblong 4to 7.5" x 11.25" flexible brown leather with embossed landscape scene on front cover cord ties at spine. 167 photographs mostly silver prints approx. 2.5" x 2" to 6" x 8" 7 images hand-tinted 2 photos laid-in; 2 photos dated 1916 in pencil in image another photo inscribed in ink "Bayonet Practice Camp Lewis 1918." Front paste-down inscription in white ink reading: "Joseph F. Scherieble Livingston Mont." Scherieble's ownership label on front paste-down as well. Some images captioned in white ink on the mount; a few photos with white ink borders. An appealing album of 167 photos documenting the Livingston Montana scene and Yellowstone National Park as well as Wrangel Island Alaska; Petersburg Alaska; Seattle and Tacoma including photos taken at Camp Lewis a World War I training camp in Tacoma. Compiled by Joseph F. Scherieble 1895-1953 this album mainly consists of photos he apparently took himself on various outings and occasions. Included here are many lovely shots of wildlife in the region including white tailed deer antelope elk buffalo big horn sheep and bear. Also featured are fine images of landmarks in Yellowstone and the surrounding area including Tower Falls Grasshopper Glacier in Park County Montana "Lava Arch" Roosevelt Arch in Gardiner Hymen Terrace "Scenes on Emigrant Gulch" Yellowstone Falls Tower Falls Corwin Hot Springs Mt. Baldy Old Faithful and Old Faithful Camp moody views of the Yellowstone River at night and so forth. The subjects of the photos taken in Livingston include a train station a steam shovel the bridge across the Yellowstone River local characters friends and family. A few images show Scherieble and a group of men hunting. Several photos included here were taken by commercial photographers whose names and inventory numbers in the negative have been obliterated-apparently an attempt by Schereible to 'integrate' them. In one instance the name of Yellowstone photographer W. S. Berry can still be made out and a few other images included here were likely taken by him as well. Concluding the album are a number of images of west coast subjects all evidently taken when Schereible traveled that way to train at Camp Lewis. These include photos of Ballard Bridge in Seattle; Point Defiance Park Tacoma etc. as well as views taken at Wrangel Island and Petersburg Alaska. These shots are followed by forty-six images documenting Scherieble's time at Camp Lewis. Scherieble was evidently a graduate of Gonzaga University and had family in the Pacific Northwest. CONDITION: Very good minor wear to covers color-tinted photos faded occasional minor wear to photos discoloration to a few images.
