Measurements: 7" x 9 1/2"Note that we have auctioned a number of these wonderful original French stills, and they have auctioned for as much as $100 each. Our consignor got them from a friend of the still photographer on this classic movie, Raymond Cauchetier, and he may well have had them printed as test prints, but we have no way of knowing (Cauchetier passed away last year at 101!). We had never even auctioned even one of these before we were consigned the previous ones (and in fact, other than first release French posters, we have only auctioned a single French lobby card, three oversized French stills, a French pressbook, and nothing else French)! WE HAVE NOW AUCTIONED ALL OF THE BETTER QUALITY ONES OF THESE INDIVIDUALLY. THIS AUCTION CONTAINS ONES THAT HAVE NOTICEABLE SCUFFING IN THE EMULSION OF EACH. IT IS MUCH MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THE STILLS ARE TILTED TO THE LIGHT. WE DON'T KNOW HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO RESTORE THIS, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THIS SIGNIFICANT DEFECT Condition: fair to good. Each of the stills has significant scuffing in the emulsion (it varies from still to still). See above for more on this. Please do not bid on these unless you can accept this significant defect.
