If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is not the regular release U.S. three-sheet. Apparently, in the late 1930s and early 1940s, 20th Century-Fox started having greater distribution outside the U.S., and on their top titles, they printed separate "international style" one-sheets and three-sheets. They look similar to the regular release posters, but they have less fine detail (but in the case of this international three-sheet, we have never seen the regular release three-sheet, so we have nothing to compare it to, but it is similar to the international one-sheet, which we have sold previously). Condition: very good to fine. The poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking (there was small paper loss in the "O" and "N" of "SON" in the title), but otherwise it was in nice condition. The paper loss has been prepaired and the poster looks. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
