If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this "other company" one-sheet (see below), and that was 6 years ago! That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some extra creases along the left half of the bottom foldline. It had some pinholes, tears, and small paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess, and no restoration was performed. Learn More about condition grades
