Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare daybill. We have only auctioned three examples in all our years of auctioning and the last time was a decade ago! There are two different styles of first release Australian daybills for this classic movie. One has a full-length image of James Stewart in clown makeup with a yellow background (this daybill) and the other has a montage image with a mostly blue background. Both were produced by Richardson Studio. There are examples of these daybills that do not have the Australian rating on them. It is believed by experts that these were created in Australia for use in New Zealand and other Australian territories that did not use the Australian ratings (similar to an "international" style U.S. one-sheet or an "export" poster from other countries). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
