Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, it is really difficult to know when this item is from. Because we have seen heralds, one-sheets, and window cards that have a month and day on them that corresponds to either 1938 or 1944, we think it is quite likely that this item is from one of those years, more likely 1938. But that is just a guess. If anyone knows more about the date of this item, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and creases and a few small tears in the left half of the bottom two foldlines, with minor wear on the other foldlines. There were some scuffs in the solid black areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer left alone the scuffs in the solid black areas. Learn More about condition grades
