Note that this was director Robert Bresson's first full-length feature! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded across the middle and there was minor wear on that fold and pinholes in the borders. The poster was printed on the back of a map, but it is very fortunate that it is a very dark poster, and the map barely bleeds through at all! Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
