Important Added Info: Note that this is one of ten great Casablanca stills (including four key book stills) we are currently auctioning in ten separate auctions (it has a great image of Bogart and Bergman close up in the Paris flashback; it has a wonderful snipe attached to it that calls Bogart "a case hardened sinner who operates a gambling house and cafe in Casablanca", and it goes on to say he renounces his love for Ingrid Bergman in the interest of the underground movement to free the conquered peoples from Nazi tyranny)! Also note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good. The still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", with no borders, but it was distributed that way, with a snipe attached to the back of the top border. Learn More about condition grades
