This poster was made for the 1957 Bengali film Kabuliwala, based on a popular story penned by legendary Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore and written and directed by master filmmaker Tapan Sinha. This vintage movie pressbook was originally hand-painted with oil on canvas. This old movie pressbook for sale is truly unique among movie collector items due to its minimalist design. This old movie press book for sale was printed and distributed during the film's initial release in the late 1950s to promote the film's theatrical debut. Vintage movie pressbooks are sometimes also referred to as song booklets, story booklets, or synopsis booklets. They contain the lyrics of songs from the film in both Hindi and Urdu and were designed to give theatre audiences the chance to sing along while watching their favourite songs on screen.
