An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded MGM Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Lionel Barrymore was an actor from the 1900s to the 1950s. He was the brother of John Barrymore and Ethel Baryrmore. Some of his movies include: Rasputin and the Empress (as Rasputin), It's a Wonderful Life (as Mr. Potter), Free Soul (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Madame X (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), On Borrowed Time, Key Largo, Grand Hotel, Dinner at Eight, Captains Courageous, and as Dr. Gillespie in the many "Dr. Kildare" movies. Note that in his later years, he played most of his performances in a wheelchair, leading many to think he was paralyzed! However, it was a combination of two hip fractures as well as arthritis that limited his mobility in later years (by 1938, Barrymore used a wheelchair exclusively and never walked again). He passed away in 1954 at the age of 76. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The earlier set was made in 1932, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! Note that these posters were printed on a high quality paper stock, but it is one that does not always age very well, and can become fragile (usually resulting in chips around the edges of the poster). Because of their fragile nature and their age, we always send these posters in large flat packages, and never roll them into tubes! Condition: good. The poster has four areas of paper loss in the left border and pinholes in the right corners. There are a few other minor border defects. There are few very minor defects within the central image area. Learn More about condition grades
