NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has the title "La Reine Africaine" on it, with the title "L'African Queen" in parentheses under it. Since we know there was a French poster that had the title "L'African Queen" that we believe to surely be from 1952, we think it is very possible that this poster is from a very early re-release in the 1950s (just about everything else about the poster is very similar to the L'African Queen poster, and both have the old style United Artists logo, but both have completely different art). So we are calling it R1950s, and we believe it to be from within a few years of the original. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?

Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
