NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jos De Cock Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Condition: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster was printed on the back of a map , and the writing from the back very slightly bleeds through in the right of the face of Bruce Cabot, but it is truthfully not very noticeable at all or distracting, and otherwise has no effect on the front. There were pairs of tiny staple holes in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
