Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on the back of part of another poster! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was printed on the back of part of another poster (see above), and it had a stamp in the background to the left of John Wayne's head, but was otherwise in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. It is fortunate that the poster is primarily a fairly dark poster with few light areas, and there is very little sign of the printing from the back, unless you hold the poster to a strong light, and of course, no one would ever have a reason to do that!
