Artist: Erik Frederiksen Important Added Info: Note that the art on this poster is signed "Erik F.". The artist's full name is Erik Frederiksen, and we have been told by a Danish poster expert that he not only drew movie posters in Denmark in the 1930s but he also drew travel posters. We had never seen any art by this artist prior to discovery of a group of Danish posters we auctioned in 2009, and it appears that few Danish collectors or dealers had seen them either, because all of the posters sold for quite high prices, and there was much competitive bidding for each one! Certainly he must be regarded as one of the premier poster artists of the 1930s, but he is not known today, likely because of the extreme scarcity of his posters. Now we have been re-consigned five of those posters we auctioned in 2009 (we had never seen them prior to 2009, and we have not seen any other examples of them since). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had creases down the right blank border with paper loss in the bottom of the right blank border, but other than this defect (solely in the blank border), the poster was in excellent condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
