An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Movie Poster (measures 34 3/4" x 47 3/4" [88 x 121 cm]) (Learn More) Greed, the classic 1925 Erich von Stroheim silent quest-for-money-and-what-it-does-to-people melodrama (about the sudden fortune won from a lottery that fans such destructive greed that it ruins the lives of the three people involved; "From the famous novel 'McTeague' by Frank Norris"; "Screen adaptation and scenario by Erich von Stroheim and June Mathis") starring Gibson Gowland, Zasu Pitts, Jean Hersholt, Chester Conklin, and Sylvia Ashton. Note that the movie was filmed in 1923 but problems with editing the film to a manageable length delayed it's premier until December 1924 and the general release to January 1925! Also note that, sadly, much of the film is completely lost, but amazingly, dedicated fans reconstructed a 239 minute version of the movie in 1999, using still photographs to fill in the many missing sections! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Eric Rohman Important Added Info: Note that original release posters from this classic Erich von Stroheim movie are beyond rare! Very, very few items have ever surfaced. This first release Swedish poster has a wonderful artwork image by Rohman of the director over Zasu Pitts playing with gold coins, and the gold of the coins and the gold of the title are printed in a gold ink! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster was folded across the middle and had the most minor of wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. At some point after it was backed, it was roughly handled to where there is now a partial crease across the center (where the poster was originally folded). It is noticeable from the back of the linen, but is really barely noticeable from the front of the poster, and the poster still displays fantastically! Learn More about condition grades
