Artist: Carl Ramsey
Important Added Info: Note that poster was originally one-third of a 1-stop poster. One-stop posters measure 41" x 77" and have two "one-sheet" images with a set of 8 "lobby card" images between them. Sometimes theaters would cut off one of the "one-sheet" sections, so that they could have an extra one-sheet, and that is what happened with this poster (he trimmed off that section and it now measures 27" x 41"). Also note that this one-stop poster was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 41 1/2" [69 x 105 cm].

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Only the right one-third of the one-stop is present (see above). It had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). 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.
