In 1925 (just ahead of the 50th Anniversary of the Massacre at the Little Big Horn, known as "Custer's Last Stand"), the original movie was re-cut and some new footage was shot and the movie was re-presented with all new posters and lobby cards. I have never seen or heard of ANY 1912 movie paper item of any sort from this movie, so items from the 1925 re-edited version are the only option if one wants to get something from this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had minor wear and slight darkening on the bottom half of the middle vertical foldline and the most minor of wear on the rest of the middle vertical foldline and the other foldlines. There were some creases and smudges around the edges of the poster and a few scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster mounted the poster on to a thinner-than-normal linen, and that they did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster.
