Note that the Italian title literally translates to "The Bicycle Thieves", but for unknown reasons, the movie became "The Bicycle Thief" when it was released in English-speaking countries! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Carlantonio Longi Important Added Info: This set of Italian photobustas includes the original envelope that they came in. Also note that these Italian photobusta measure approximately 18" x 27" and are folded. Finally, note that these are rare "country of origin" posters for this classic Italian movie! Condition: very good to fine. All of the photobustas were lightly folded down the middle at one time. This has resulted in a faint vertical crease in some of them, but it is not very noticeable or distracting in any of them. Eight of the photobustas are in very good to fine condition. Most of these have a single tiny tear in the bottom border, and a few minor border defects. One of the photobustas (the one with the close up of the little boy) is in similar condition to the other eight, but has a clean 1 1/2" tear near the middle of the bottom border. Two of the others (the one in the left of the last row of our image, and the one in the right of the second-to-last row) have more creases and tears than the other eight and are in very good condition. The last one (the one in the bottom right corner of our image) has paper loss in the bottom left corner and many tears in the left border and it is only in good condition. The original envelope is present. It has completely separated on all of the seams, and has paper loss around the edges, but is otherwise in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
