Original – Advertisement from Poestaka Timoer for Ratna Moetoe Manikam, a fantasy story starring Ratna Asmara and Astaman.
Reason
High quality magazine advertisement, for the last film produced by Java Industrial Film (production was apparently not finished when the Japanese occupied the Dutch East Indies in March 1942, though we should be careful taking Tan Tjoei Hock at his word)

  • Support – quality meets FP requirements, EV established through standalone article. SSTflyer 11:48, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Good quality of an obscure film, but the article is well written. So quality and EV are both there. Mattximus (talk) 22:31, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since we can't expect a historical document to be improved in quality, Support. If Indonesia used a rather cheap half-tone for its movie posters, we get what we get, aye? =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:30, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • This and the previous Poesaka Terpendam advertisement were both much better quality than the mid-1950s prints. In 1950 or so Bintang Surabaja used decent halftoning, much different than what ended up being used later.
