An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Redskin, the 1929 Victor Schertzinger silent Navajo Native American Indian romantic cowboy western anti-racist melodrama ("The struggle between racial tradition and civilization"; "Color sequences photographed by Technicolor Process"; "Story and screen play by Elizabeth Pickett"; a follow-up to 'The Vanishing American', with Dix as an Indian who was taken off of a reservation and becomes the first Indian at a certain college, and then becomes a doctor, and returns to his people, but is rejected for being "too white", but he ends up helping settle a major dispute between the Native Americans and the white man) starring Richard Dix ("as Wing Foot"), Julie Carter (billed as "Gladys Belmont"; "as Corn Blossom"; 16 years old in her first movie role!), Jane Novak, Larry Steers, and Tully Marshall NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. There was a nail hole in the cheek of the left image of Dix. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 80 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
