Ross 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 movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we were consigned this poster! One-sheet posters from before 1919 are generally incredibly rare. But ones from before 1915 are beyond rare. It seems that the very first "regular one-sheets" were made around 1914, although some from small studios have turned up from earlier years. Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile. There is paper loss in the lower right border, slightly affecting the border art. There are pinholes, tears and tiny paper loss in the rest of the borders and some lesser amount of fold wear. Because the paper loss in the lower right border is exactly the mirror image of the lower left border, any restorer will know exactly what to put there. It is otherwise "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
