In 1925 (just ahead of the 50th Anniversary of the Massacre at the Little Big Horn, known as "Custer's Last Stand"), the original movie was re-cut and some new footage was shot and the movie was re-presented with all new posters and lobby cards. I have never seen or heard of ANY 1912 movie paper item of any sort from this movie, so items from the 1925 re-edited version are the only option if one wants to get something from this movie! 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 over 30 years ago someone found a bunch of posters from this early western that were tri-folded, yet are definitely original! Most of these have long since vanished into private collections. It is very rare to find an tri-folded poster from the 1920s! This poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical foldline) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fine. There are extremely minor tears at the edges of the foldlines, but otherwise the poster is in wonderful condition and is hard to believe it is over 75 years old! Learn More about condition grades
