Important Added Info: Note that there are two different styles of one-sheet for this movie. The "A" style, which is the one offered here, has a wonderful stone litho image of Gloria Swanson in a wedding gown in the foreground, with her fiance's seven previous wives in the background behind her! The style B one-sheet has solely a profile image of Swanson, and she is not in a wedding gown. Both posters originally came from the legendary Charles A. Dyas collection, which was auctioned by Bruce Hershenson at Christie's in 1990 and 1991. This poster is the same poster that was auctioned at Christie's in 1990. It was re-consigned and again auctioned at Christie's in 1994, and now the same poster has been re-consigned 19 years later (it is the only example of this poster we are aware of!). Also note that this poster measures 27 1/2" x 41" [70 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine.
