An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Yellow Dust, the 1936 Wallace Fox gold mining romantic love triangle strike-it-rich melodrama (the old story of a young prospector with his elderly companion, who strike it rich, but he has trouble staking his claim, and he also meets a beautiful young lady, and he has trouble staking his claim to her as well!) starring Richard Dix ("in a story of the great Nevada gold rush... A scarlet chapter in our history ...when the hand that pulled the trigger ruled the land."; "The yellow streak in Mother Earth ran red with greed and glory... when Bob Culpepper, proud and daring, ranged the red Sierras, to strike pay dirt and love!"), Leila Hyams, Moroni Olsen, Jessie Ralph, Andy Clyde, and Onslow Stevens 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 we have only previously auctioned three examples of this window card, and this is one of those three cards that has been reconsigned to us! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had nail holes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few nail holes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed by a talented restorer. They first put new paper over all of the blank borders (leaving alone the small writing at bottom), and then they did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs, but they did restoration to the more significant defects (and I agree with that decision, because to have completely restored the image would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 74 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!).
