An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Iceland, the 1942 H. Bruce Humberstone ice skating romantic military musical ("Sonja and John together again in their first film since 'Sun Valley Serenade.' Swing and sway with Sammy Kaye and his orchestra") starring Sonja Henie, John Payne, Jack Oakie, Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra, Sterling Holloway, and Fritz Feld

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that Sonja Henie had difficulties with her fans in her native Norway during World War II, because of her friendship with Adolf Hitler (her home in Norway was one of the few that was not ransacked by the Nazis, likely because of the signed portrait of Hitler that hung in her living room!). There was also a performance she gave before Hitler where she ended by skating to Hitler and giving the Nazi salute. Once the war broke out, she was forgiven by her American fans, but her Norwegian fans were less forgiving. This poster not only shows Henie with her arm up in a pose similar to that terribly unfortunate salute she gave, plus there are soldiers behind her!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some extra foldlines alongside part of the regular foldlines. There was some wear on the folds and some pinholes and smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
