Artist: Capry Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The map printed on the back slightly bleeds through to the front and there are smudges and some scuff marks scattered throughout the poster. There are some creases scattered throughout the poster from it being oddly folded at one time and there are some pin holes in the borders around the edges. Other than the smudges and scuffs (which would surely be greatly minimized if one chose to have it linenbacked), the poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
