Artist: Richman Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! There were two different posters created in France when this movie was first released in 1938. One was for the 35mm release in big cities, and the other was this poster, which was created for the 16mm release in smaller areas. Both posters are incredibly rare! Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Note that this poster ships in a very long tube (at least 33" long, but possibly 50" long or more). Therefore the shipping for this poster will be more than that for a poster that ships in a tube 32" or shorter, and possibly much more. Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. You can tell how long of a tube this poster needs to ship in by looking at the shorter dimension of its length and width and then adding 4" to that (so a 47" x 63" poster will need to ship in a 51" long tube).What IS linenbacking?

The poster had tiny tears, tiny bits of paper loss, and scuffs scattered on parts of the folds, with some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
