NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Condition: good to very good. The paper in the top 1" is missing, but the linen portion is still present (it could easily be trimmed off). There are some tiny stains and tiny creases across the bottom of the still, but the image area is in nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
