If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1930 movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a lobby card and a still from this movie until we received this window card! Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 1/2" x 22" [34 x 56 cm]. Condition: fair to good. Someone unevenly trimmed off the right border. It is 1/4" in part of the upper part, and it extends inward diagonally until it just cuts off the very edge of the bottom of the image, at which point it is 3/4" wide. There is also a 3" vertical tear in the right of the bottom border that extends into the girl's knee. There are also some stains scattered throughout the card. Obviously, this incredibly rare card can be restored, but bear its defects in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
