French theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle at the bottom. They would either be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, or they would simply hand write in the name of the movie they were showing that day in the bottom area, thus getting many posters for the price of one. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair. There is slight discoloration scattered in some areas of the poster from exposure to moisture. There are tears of varying lengths along the foldlines and edges (some are quite large). This Mexican poster is EXTREMELY fragile. Mexican posters were printed on a paper stock that often ages very poorly, and also darkens. This poster has darkened somewhat and is more fragile along the foldlines (but of course, any talented restorer could linenback the poster, after which it would look great, but it might require fairly extensive restoration). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept how fragile it is, or are willing to pay to have it linenbacked. Learn More about condition grades
