Artist: James Montgomery Flagg Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this "art style" window card, and only one in the last 16 years! The art on this window card is by James Montgomery Flagg. There is a special one-sheet for this movie that has signed Flagg art, and for years, some people argued that the unsigned art created for this movie was not by Flagg. However, the pressbook definitively states that this art IS by Flagg! We are also currently auctioning an example of the "title style" window card in a separate auction. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout, with some creases and tears around the edges and a circular punch hole in the top right corner of the image. Overall, the window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
