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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The card was trimmed on three sides to approximately 1/2" within the image on each side, cutting into both the "S" at the beginning of the title and the "s" at the end of the title, and also slightly into Jannings' hair. Some really talented restorer paperbacked the card and re-created the missing top and the missing edges of the image. The rest of the image had a few smudges and faint stains in it, and those had expert touch up. The card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
