One-sheet posters from before 1919 are generally incredibly rare. But ones from before 1915 are beyond rare. It seems that the very first "regular one-sheets" were made around 1914, although some from small studios have turned up from earlier years. Condition: good. There are stains scattered in the poster (see our image). The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right. There is separation in one edge. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the slight discoloration can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
