If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1929 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single first release U.S. movie poster or lobby card (only a glass slide, an 8x10 still, and a Swedish poster) from this movie until we received this window card! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, with stains in the left of the title. Overall, the window card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the light stains in the title, surely because they did not want to have to repaint the entire area (see our image).
