If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 12" x 16" [30 x 41 cm]. Also 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. Condition: fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 12" x 16", affects the right and top of the card, and you can see what is left by looking at our image (we don't know exactly what is missing, because we have never auctioned this ultra rare window card, and we can't find an indication that ANYONE has ever auctioned one!). Since the entire title remains and many of the credits (and a substantial portion of the image), I would think many people could display this card as is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this significant defect. In addition to the trimming, there is a tear near the middle of the right and bottom borders and the card has darkened somewhat with some faint creases and scuffs. Learn More about condition grades
