In 1925 (just ahead of the 50th Anniversary of the Massacre at the Little Big Horn, known as "Custer's Last Stand"), the original movie was re-cut and some new footage was shot and the movie was re-presented with all new posters and lobby cards. I have never seen or heard of ANY 1912 movie paper item of any sort from this movie, so items from the 1925 re-edited version are the only option if one wants to get something from this movie! 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 six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Also note this six-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with six-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded six-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 13" x 30", so they cost more to send than regularly folded six-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Condition: very good. There is a clean 3" tear with no paper loss in the background below the gun at upper left. There are tears and tiny areas of paper loss on the part of the foldline that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some tiny tears in parts of other borders. There are some brown stains and small tears around the edges of the poster. The poster is slightly fragile, but after a simple linenbacking, it will look great, and it will require little paint restoration anywhere in the image. Learn More about condition grades
