Artist: Luigi Martinati Important Added Info: Note that this Italian one-panel, which we have never before auctioned, has a 1949 date printed at the bottom. We think it might be from the first release of this movie in Italy, but it is also possible the movie was released in 1948 or even 1947. It could be that the movie stayed in release in Italy through that time, but we're just not sure. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster has tiny separation at some crossfolds and pretty minor fold and border wear. It has some tears and tiny paper loss in a 5" vertical area in the background to the right of Sheridan's arm. Otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
