An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Red Hair, the 1928 Clarence G. Badger silent romantic comedy (based on the novel "by Elinor Glyn"; about a manicurist who wants to find a rich husband, and when her boyfriends find out she is just a gold digger, they tell her off at a fancy party, and she responds by throwing down the jewels and fancy gown she was given, and jumping in a swimming pool!) starring Clara Bow (as Bubbles McCoy, "a cute little cuticle cutter"), Lane Chandler, William Austin, Jacqueline Gadsden, and Lawrence Grant. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only fragments of the film are thought to exist (including the only surviving footage of Clara Bow in Technicolor). Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the card had creases, tears, and some tiny paper loss around the edges, with a few creases in Bow's hair and in the "W" above her hair. There was a tear below the center of the title that extended into the bottom of the "H" of "Hair". Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
