An Original Vintage Theatrical Jumbo Movie Window Card (WC; measures 21" x 28" [53 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Beau Geste, the 1926 Herbert Brenon silent French Foreign Legion military family relationship action adventure war thriller ("From the novel by Percival C.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this jumbo window card, but only one in the last 23 years! Also note that jumbo window cards normally measured 22" x 28" and had a vertical format (they were like regular window cards, only much larger). On rare occasions, for major releases, studios would make special horizontal jumbo window cards. The one offered here for the 1926 "Beau Geste" is one of those. It measures 21" x 28", but it has not been trimmed. Note that this jumbo window card is printed on a heavy paper stock, similar to that of regular window cards of this period. It could not possibly be rolled, and it must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 23" x 30", so bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: very good. The poster has tiny pinholes in the corners and in the center of each border, and a few minor smudges scattered in the image. The card is in really nice condition. Someone used the back of the card to advertise another movie, and they used black paint to write on the back. Fortunately, because the card is printed on a heavy paper stock, the paint from the back truly has no effect on the front. Learn More about condition grades
