Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that Australian daybills measured approximately 15" x 40" from the 1920s through the late 1930s (these are called "long daybills"). At some point almost exactly around the end of 1940, paper shortages caused by the onset of World War II caused Australian printers to drastically reduce the size of daybills, to 10" x 30" (this meant that they could print four daybills from the same sheet that used to yield two "long daybills"), meaning that the new daybills were exactly half the area of the old ones. At the end of World War II, as the paper shortages diminished, this size of daybills was increased to roughly 13" x 30", and they remained that size all the way until around 1980, when they became shorter, measuring approximately 13" x 26", and they have remained that to the present day. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had a tiny dot of paper loss near the tip of Stanwyck's nose and some very minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
