An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German Movie Poster (measures 38 1/2" x 55" [98 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Dammbruch (literally translates to "Dam Breach"), the 1920s silent action adventure melodrama. Note that while this is obviously a movie about a dam breaking and flooding an entire town (based on the single poster we have seen), we are unsure what movie this 1925 German poster is promoting! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Adolph Wegener Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare poster from Germany from before World War II, which we have never auctioned before (it is the poster referred to in the description above). There are very few German movie posters from before World War II in existence (because of the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II), and most of those few are in museums. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases, tears, and some darkening on parts of several folds, with just a few tiny areas of paper loss. It had creases and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
