Important Added Info: Note that first release 1924 movie posters from this Rudolph Valentino movie are incredibly rare. We had never auctioned a poster larger than a window card from this movie until we received this half-sheet! A talented restorer gel backed the poster (meaning they backed the poster onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the defects described below, and then removed the gel backing, so that the poster still exactly looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. The restoration was done really well, and the poster displays really well! Condition: very good. The poster was gel backed (see above). This particular poster was never folded. It had paper loss in the right 6" of the bottom border, slightly extending into the bottom of the background, and affecting the last few letters of the tiny producer credit. There were some pinholes and a few small areas of paper loss in the rest of the blank borders, but otherwise, the poster was in really nice condition prior to restoration. The poster was gel backed by a talented professional and expert restoration was performed to the above defects. The poster looks fantastic, and it has had truly minor touch up, and best of all, it still completely looks and feels like an unrestored poster! Learn More about condition grades
