Note that Arnold Fanck was a German director who loved skiing and made many "mountain films" that included skiing sequences. Note that this was one of director Fanck's first movies, and that it predated his association with Leni Riefenstahl by two years. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1924 movie paper from this Arnold Fanck movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single German program from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this window card (and several others we are auctioning in this part of our major auction) has been linenbacked. They were recently backed by a restoration studio that prefers linenbacking to paperbacking, because there is less alteration to the card. There is no right or wrong to this, just a matter of personal opinion. On each of those window cards, the restorer left 1/2" of excess linen on all four sides (see our image). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a 2" tear in the upper left of the image, with a few pinholes and small tears around the edges, and some smudges in the yellow background area. 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
