Rare German Promotional Leaflet


This leaflet from my collection, was used as a promotional piece for the release of Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men in West Germany in 1952. As we have seen before in these early advertisements Joan Rice (Maid Marian) gets a high billing.

Robin Hood's Tree in 1961


This lovely photograph of the 'Major Oak' in Sherwood Forest, before it was surrounded by a protective fence to protect its roots, was taken in 1961. The image was later used to promote tourism to  Britain.
