NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned it before. It is likely so rare for two reasons. One is because the movie was quickly re-released in both 1946 and 1952, and that would have likely used up any remaining 1940 paper, but the other is that it is an incredibly striking poster, and we would think that anyone who got their hands on it did not let it go very easily, if at all!

The poster had paper loss at the bottom crossfold and small paper loss at the top crossfold, with creases, scuffs, and a few tiny tears in the top and bottom quarters of the vertical fold, and in the bottom horizontal fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. There were pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, with a diagonal crease in the top right corner. 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
