Artist: Henri Armengol Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster that we have never auctioned before! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile and it has darkening, small tears, separation, and small paper loss on parts of most of the folds with some tears and small paper loss in the borders. Obviously this poster is in urgent need of restoration, but it is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional it will display wonderfully. However, bear in mind its condition and cost of restoration before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
