Three-sheets are vintage posters that measure approximately 41" x 81". When the studios began making vintage posters, they could only print sizes up to 27" x 41" (One Sheets). So, in order to make the 41" x 81" Three Sheet poster they printed three sections of the smaller size that could be combined to form the larger poster (this is why they are called "three-sheets"). Beginning in the early 1930s through the 1980s, new technology allowed for three-sheets to be printed with 2 sheets (usually one larger section and one smaller section). Sometime in the 1970s most three-sheet vintage posters were printed with a single three-sheet-sized piece. The separate pieces were designed to overlap, so that when they were glued together (or nowadays linen backed together) they match up so that they appear to be a single printed image. Three Sheet posters due to their size are extremely hard to find and are sort after by poster collectors. They make quite the impact and look amazing when framed.
