Artist: Erik Frederiksen Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that the art on this poster is signed "Erik F.". The artist's full name is Erik Frederiksen, and we have been told by a Danish poster expert that he not only drew movie posters in Denmark in the 1930s but he also drew travel posters. We had never seen any art by this artist prior to discovery of the Danish posters we are auctioning, and it appears that few Danish collectors or dealers had seen them either. Certainly he must be regarded as one of the premier poster artists of the 1930s, but he is not known today, likely because of the extreme scarcity of his posters. Condition: very good to fine. There is an upside-down Y-shaped tear in the bottom center of the poster, extending into the "E" of "ROGERS". There are some minor creases in the left and right borders and the most minor of wear on the foldlines. Other than the above, the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
