If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once part of the Soviet Union). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.
UPDATED 04/25/2020: Note that 1928 is written on the bottom border of this poster, which could indicate that it had a 1928 first release in Uzbekistan (after it entered the Soviet Union in 1924). Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edge and there are several areas of separation along the vertical foldline. Many of the tears or other defects as described above have been repaired with several pieces of tape from the back. The poster still displays pretty well, but after a simple linenbacking it would look great! Learn More about condition grades
