During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades. Posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves Condition: good to very good. The poster is printed on the back of another poster (see above). There is a tax stamp at lower right and someone glued a stiff blank piece if paper at upper center (so it would have a large blank border, typical of most Belgian posters.) It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
