If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that original 1928 movie paper of ANY kind from this Zane Grey silent movie is exceptionally rare. Perhaps it is because the movie was one of the last silents, and might have received somewhat limited distribution. In any event, prior to auctioning this window card, we have only ever auctioned one single 8" x 10" still from this movie in all the years we have been auctioning, and that still sold for $62! This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There are some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, but they are fortunately in the blank borders. There are several tears in the middle of the left border, with one extending into Holt's pant leg, and there is a 4" irregular tear in the middle of the right border. There is tape on the back of those tears and some tape on the back of the bottom right corner and the top center of the poster. Other than the above (easily addressed by any restorer), the card is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
