If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster is printed on the back of part of another poster! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves! Note that part of the blank top border of this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11 3/4" x 13 3/4" [30 x 35 cm]. Also 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. 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). It has some dot staining along the blank borders and there are a few small tears along the left edge that have been repaired with clear tape from the back. It was printed on back of another poster (see above) and the printing on back slightly bleeds through to the front in a few areas. A snipe was glued along the upper edge (that extends the poster).
