Artist: J. Harold Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Condition: good to very good. The poster had darkened along the foldlines (typical of French posters of this period), and it is quite noticeable. There were creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on some foldlines, and some paper loss at some of the crossfolds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
