Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet (measures 22x28) (Learn More) I Am the Law, the 1922 Edwin Carewe silent Royal Canadian Mounted Police romantic love triangle family relationship crime thriller (based on the story "Poetic Justice of Uko Sam" by James Oliver Curwood; about two brothers in love with the same woman, and they end up in a death struggle) starring Alice Lake, Kenneth Harlan, Gaston Glass, Rosemary Theby, Noah Beery Sr., and Wallace Beery 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 half-sheet came from a collection found in a closed-down movie theater. All of the half-sheets were unfolded, and many have the theater name and play-dates written somewhere on the poster in the blank background (much as a window card has this information), but otherwise they are in surprisingly good condition (some have staining or tears which is always noted on each auction). We have sold ten of these half-sheets in previous weeks, and this week we sell the last of the half-sheets from this find! Note that this is a hand-colored half-sheet. In the days of silent film prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have half-sheets printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the half-sheets one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each half-sheet is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: fair to good. There is scuffing over the middle of the image area. There is an 8" tear in the upper right that extends into the man's face. There is a large piece off the left of the bottom blank border. There is pencil writing across the top edge of Learn More about condition grades
