An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 21" x 28 3/4" [53 x 73 cm]) (Learn More) Go West, the 1925 Buster Keaton silent cowboy western comedy ("The Laugh-Buster!"; about a man from a small town who goes to New York City, but is quickly disillusioned, and he gets on a train going west, and he falls off the train in a western town, where he surprisingly becomes a successful cowhand, and ends up alone on a train with 1,000 cows) starring Buster Keaton, Howard Truesdale, Kathleen Myers, Ray Thompson, Brown Eyes (the cow), and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (in an uncredited role as a woman!). Buster Keaton knew that a lot of the success of this movie would depend on his personal relationship with "his Pal of the Plains", Brown Eyes the cow, and so he personally "trained" her, to build up their chemistry. The production was halted for two weeks when Brown Eyes went in heat and was unavailable to work, and she was paid $13 a week and received billing! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds and surface paper loss and tiny paper loss in the lower right, where a snipe was over a distributor logo, and it was roughly removed, causing surface paper loss in that area, affecting half of the logo. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
