Artist: Zeineddine Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this one-of-a-kind hand-painted Lebanese poster! Note that between 2021 and 2023, we at eMoviePoster.com were consigned 59 hand-painted Lebanese posters that were used at a Lebanese movie theater showing classic movies. We were told that these showings occurred starting around 20 years ago, and that they continued to the present day. Some of those posters appeared to be 10 or more years old, but others seemed to be from the last couple of years. Most of those were very large and some measured up to 6 feet by 12 feet, and each was a one of a kind poster, painted by a specific Lebanese artist, "Zeineddine". We have not been consigned anymore of these in a year, so we think there are very few left to be auctioned, but we were just sent just two of them (which we are auctioning in two separate auctions)! The above is all the information we have about this poster, so please do not bid unless you can accept these uncertainties as to exactly when it was created and how it was used. Also note that this Lebanese poster was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Learn More about condition grades
