If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 13 3/4" [28 x 35 cm]. Also note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There is a tax stamp at lower right and there are some minor smudges and creases scattered throughout the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
