Artist: Roland Coudon Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Not only that, but we have never before auctioned ANYTHING from this movie! Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Also note that this French two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There is a foreign stamp in two corners. Both sections of the poster had some tears and separation on parts of the folds, and someone repaired some of those with white paper tape on the back. Otherwise, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age. Learn More about condition grades
