Date Sold 8/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French Personality Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 29 3/4" [62 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this French personality poster! Note that we also previously auctioned a very similar French poster that featured Joan Crawford, and because she appeared on that poster as she did in a 1931 movie, we think it is extremely likely that that poster, and this one, are both from either 1931 or 1932. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had pretty minor fold wear. It had a small amount of the left blank border and 1 1/2" of the top blank border trimmed off, but only blank white paper was affected. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
