If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Republic Pictures did something VERY "sneaky" when they decided to re-release this movie in 1952, just three years after the original release. They printed more posters, EXACTLY like the 1949 posters (we know of one-sheets and three-sheets, but there were likely other sizes as well), and they were surely printed from the original plates, because they are exactly identical to the originals in every way, EXCEPT that they changed the litho number on both the one-sheets and three-sheets they printed in 1952, and the position of the studio logo changed, and really oddly, they put the 1949 NSS on the 1952 re-release one-sheet, even though it was not on the 1949 one-sheet! The poster offered here is one of the 1952 re-releases, that looks exactly identical to the 1949 poster, except for its different litho number. This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was in really nice condition prior to backing with the most minor of fold and border wear. It was well backed and it looks great! Learn More about condition grades
