An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Uzbekistan Movie Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 42 1/2" [72 x 108 cm]) (Learn More) Behind the Wall (literal translation of the Russian title), the 1928 Amvrosy Buchma Russian romantic love triangle author melodrama (about a dissident writer who is jailed for his writing, and he has a great love who waits for him, but then he escapes, and takes up with a new woman, and his first love commits suicide) starring Ambrose Buchma, Maria Dusimetier, Polina Sklyar-Otava, Konstantin Koshevsky, and Yuri Chernyshev If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once part of the Soviet Union). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! 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 has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss (especially at upper left) and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and the defects have been backed by MANY pieces of tape and there is some separation at the center crossfold (also repaired with tape from the back). It has faint pencil writing at upper right. The image on this very rare Russian poster is otherwise mostly "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well (but of course bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.)
