Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" [19 x 23 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this still is printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would run out of stills and have extras printed on different stock. Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Condition: good to very good. There is slight discoloration at bottom center, caused by the snipe glued to the back. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
