An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) The Girl From Calgary, the 1932 Phil Whitman musical romantic comedy (about a French Canadian girl who is both a champion bronco buster and a night club singer, and she meets an American who takes her to Broadway to become a star) starring Fifi D'Orsay, Paul Kelly, Robert Warwick, Edwin Maxwell, and Astrid Allwyn NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and a few faint stains and tiny tears in the right blank border. There was 2" of separation in the bottom of the vertical foldline and someone once put a piece of tape on the back of that area, and it slightly darkened the front. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
