NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Williams Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1953 first release German poster! We have auctioned a 1963 re-release with a different image, which does not show Jean Peters at all. Condition: good. There is scattered brown staining on the back of the poster, more so on the back of the top left, with some drip stains extending down to the bottom left. There was separation on the top half of the vertical fold and the right half of the top fold, and someone put tape on the back of those areas. Some of the staining on the back showed through to the front and someone performed paint touch up to the stains on Peters' cheek and chin. The poster displays fairly well in spite of the above defects and restoration, but certainly, the new owner might well one want to have it professionally restored. Please read the above and look closely at our super-sized image before bidding on this rare poster. Learn More about condition grades
