An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French Large Movie Poster (31x47; measures 31 3/4" x 47 1/4") (Learn More) This is a circa 1940s French stock poster for Laurel & Hardy movies! The poster features a great artwork image by Roger Cartier of the comedy duo, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. French theaters would display this poster when they would show Laurel & Hardy movies (likely writing in the title of the specific movie being shown at the bottom of the poster, or gluing a snipe there). We have never seen this poster before, nor have we seen this image. If anyone knows when the poster was made, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had a triangular area of paper loss at the crossfold (in the bottom of Hardy's lapel), and there were some small jagged tears to the left and right of that paper loss. There was small paper loss in the blue background above Hardy's shoulder and creases, tiny tears, and tiny dots of paper loss scattered in the top half of the vertical foldline. There was lesser wear on the other folds and in the borders. There was some darkening in the background areas of the poster (the flash from our camera has intensified how noticeable those areas are; in person, they are not nearly as noticeable or distracting, but there clearly IS an unevenness to the background). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. If I owned this poster, I would surely have it professionally re-backed. After proper restoration of the above defects, the poster will look fantastic, and there will be little paint restoration necessary in the images of the stars or in their names, other than in the exact areas described above.
