Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or studio magazine, because the bottom two-thirds is printed on one sheet, and the top one-third is printed on a different sheet, and there is stitching across the top of the bottom two-thirds, indicating it was removed from a book or magazine). The back of this great trade ad tells about the movie (see our images) and it has a tagline pointing to the inside that says "and! Look at the three-sheet sample of the kind of paper available!" So this IS an original 1939 special poster for this classic movie, and it absolutely can be framed and displayed! Condition: good to very good. The top one-third and the bottom two-thirds were printed on separate pieces and removed from a book or magazine (see above). They were glued together and there is some minor wear around the edges and on the folds (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
