Note that this movie is based on the novel, "Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar" written by Jules Verne in 1876.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook was folded once in each direction and there is separation on parts of those folds on many pages (the front cover is completely separated across the center, but it is not separated at the spine). Other than the separation, the pressbook is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
