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 Spanish language one-sheet, and that was 15 years ago! Also note that this one-sheet was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). What IS linenbacking?

The poster was pretty well backed, but after it wsa backed, it acquired some tiny bits of surface paper loss scattered in the top right. It also has small green stains in the "CR" of the title, which may be a printing defect, or may have been acquired after it was backed. Learn More about condition grades
