Note that A.J. Cronin was a doctor who had health problems in 1930. He wrote a book called "Hatter's Castle" in 1931, and it was so successful that he stopped practicing medicine and wrote a series of books, all centering around doctors, including "The Citadel" and "Keys of the Kingdom", all of which were made into movies!

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned two examples of the style B half-sheet, but we have never before auctioned this style A half-sheet! Also note that the half-sheet was folded once in each direction at one time. Because the folds are such that they have not diminished over time, AND because the poster was folded down the exact center in each direction, then we MAY fold the half-sheet prior to mailing, if it reduces shipping costs, and if you do not also purchase other half-sheets that need to be sent rolled. So it will be sent either rolled in a tube or folded in a standard flat package. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some creases and scuffs along the folds. It has small areas of paper loss in the left and right of the bottom blank border, and smaller paper loss in the right of the top blank border, with five other tiny bits of paper loss in the top blank border. It has just a very few smudges and very faint tiny brown stains scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
