An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

What Wives Want, the 1923 Jack Conway silent romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama ("Universal All Star Attraction"; about a woman who cheats on her husband, and her sister nobly pretends to have been the one cheating, but that causes her husband to leave her, and then the cheating sister confesses, so that her sister can be reunited with her husband) starring Ethel Grey Terry, Niles Welch, Ramsey Wallace, Vernon Steele, and Lila Leslie. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this one-sheet!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds. It had stains, writing, and paper loss in the top and bottom blank borders. Someone mounted the poster many years ago onto a thin linen and did amateur restoration to the border defects. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster can certainly be removed from the thin linen and properly restored, but bear the above in mind before bidding.
