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 first release 1928 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a jumbo lobby card and a Swedish poster (but no U.S. posters) from this movie until we received this window card! Condition: good to very good. The card had creases, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges, with some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, more so in the "AI" of "AIR" at the top. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration (especially when you look at it close up), but the card displays well, and will look great on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
