If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta in May of 1939. It had a limited release in a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? In any event, please do not bid on this poster unless you realize it is not a 1939 poster, but rather a 1940 poster. Also, note that this poster has much separation on the foldlines, many pinholes and tears in the borders, water staining in the bottom border, and several other minor defects. But it is an excellent candidate for restoration! After linenbacking by a talented professional, it would look great, and there would be little paint restoration anywhere on it!
