If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. Aside from this single one-sheet, we have also only previously auctioned an insert, two window cards, two lobby cards, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind)!

Note that the art on this poster is extremely striking, and very stylized and deco looking. Yet we can't find information about the artist. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a small area of paper loss on the middle fold, 3" to the right of the crossfold. It had some tears and tiny paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, and tears to the right of the bottom quarter of the vertical fold. It had some tiny bits of paper loss on the rest of the folds. It had two tears just under the Warner Bros. credit and some pinholes around the edges, with paper loss in the center of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
