An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) The Duchess of Buffalo, the 1926 Sidney Franklin silent Russia romantic love triangle comedy ("She's my mamaski!"; "Hot dogski!"; "That's my babski"; "O-o-la-laski"; "Hoorayski!"; "Oh boyski"; "Based on the Hungarian Play 'Sybil' Written by Max Brody and Franz Martos"; about a beautiful American chorus girl who goes to Russia and falls in love with a soldier, but a married Grand Duke wants her as well!) starring Constance Talmadge, Tullio Carminati, Edward Martindel, Rose Dione, and Chester Conklin 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 poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat 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. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image, but very few within Talmadge's face. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not completely touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 83 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
