If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 13" x 16 1/4" [33 x 41 cm]. Also note that 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: fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 13" x 16 1/4", affects the left, bottom, and top blank area of the card, and you can see what is missing by looking at our image. The card is also quite fragile and there is paper loss in the bottom right corner and some tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. The entire card has darkened and there is a stain in the top left corner. Since almost all of the title and credits remain and since only a small part of the bottom of the art has been trimmed off, it is not nearly as bad as it might have been, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
