Artist: Joseph A. Maturo
Important Added Info: Note that after the passing of Will Rogers in 1935, Shirley Temple was 20th Century-Fox's number one star, and they assigned their finest artist, Joseph A. Maturo, to create beautiful stone litho posters for each of Shirley Temple's films, with a different poster for every different size! Also note that this poster is extremely rare. We have only auctioned it once before, and that was 23 years ago!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny bits of paper loss on small parts of the foldlines and very minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
