An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #5 (The Decoy) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Zorro's Fighting Legion, the 1939 John English & William Witney south-of-the-border masked hero cowboy western serial ("A Republic serial in 12 chapters"; we have never seen this movie, but based on the advertising, we can tell that Zorro recruits a whole lot of guys to be "assistant Zorros"; we wonder where they ordered all those Zorro costumes from!) starring Reed Hadley (in the title role as Don Diego/Zorro), Sheila Darcy, William Corson, Leander De Cordova, Edmund Cobb, and Carleton Young (as Benito Juarez). Note that we show no record of a U.S. release of this serial as an edited feature version, but it seems that such a version was created for international release, because the non-U.S. posters we have seen make no reference to it being a serial. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had extra foldlines alongside several of the regular ones, and also diagonal creases and scuffs in the top center of the poster. It had tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the bottom of the vertical foldline, and pinholes and small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
