If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that first release 1918 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet from this movie (and no other movie paper of any kind) until we received this three-sheet! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: fair. The poster has darkened and is fragile, and there are separations, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of many folds (with three larger areas of paper loss in different parts of the middle vertical fold and in the borders). The poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will display well, and will likely need little paint restoration within the image, except for the exact areas noted above (which you can also see in our super-sized image). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very significant defects and are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
