Aubrey Smith, John Carradine, Bill Henry, Robert Barrat, Walter Hampden, and Joyce Reynolds.

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had wear along the foldlines and the borders were folded back at one time and there are staple holes in all the borders. The poster was pretty well linenbacked, but the it had smudges all through the white background areas, and the restorer did not deal with those. Learn More about condition grades
