An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Russian Movie Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 42 1/2" [72 x 108 cm]) (Learn More)

Nanook of the North, the classic 1922 Robert J. Flaherty U.S./French silent Arctic Eskimo Inuit documentary ("A Story Of Life And Love In The Actual Arctic"; "The truest and most human story of the Great White Snows"; "A picture with more drama, greater thrill, and stronger action than any picture you ever saw.") featuring Nanook, Nyla, Cunayou, Allee, and Allegoo. Note that this is a really wonderful documentary! In recent years, there has been a suggestion that some of it was "staged", and that Nanook was not really as he is portrayed in the movie, but that doesn't really matter. It really is a movie that everyone should see!
Artist: Iosif Vasilyevich Gerasimovich
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Russian poster! Of course, first release posters from any country from this most classic documentary are incredibly rare, and this one has art that does not appear on any other poster we have seen!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. It appears the poster was printed on the back of another poster, because when you hold the poster to a strong light, you can see the signs of printing on the back of the poster in the background areas. It had some pinholes and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and displays well, but you can see slight signs of bleed-through from the printing on the back in the light colored areas (see our image).
