Important Added Info: In the late 1910s through the early 1930s, MGM (and sometimes Paramount and a couple of other studios) would often make a regular one-sheet for a movie and, instead of a second style regular one-sheet, would instead make a special "rotogravure" one-sheet. Named after the rotogravure picture sections at the time popular in Sunday newspapers, these one-sheets would be printed in a single color, often sepia, but sometimes other colors, and they would usually incorporate pictorial images from the movie combined in a montage fashion. Very few rotogravure one-sheet have survived, since they were printed on the same paper stock used in newspapers of the time, and the paper is very fragile and often darkens. Condition: fair to good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the vertical foldline, and a lesser amount on the horizontal folds. There were pinholes, creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some brown water stains scattered in the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not very well backed, and there was somewhat amateurish restoration performed to some of the above defects, and the restoration is quite noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
