If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1923 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single lobby card (and no posters) from this movie until we received this half-sheet! Also note that this half-sheet must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30" (it could conceivably be rolled, but we would never do that, because it would surely damage the poster). Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has significant light water staining around the edges in four areas, but it only slightly enters the image in the middle right and the letters in the bottom right. Plus, aside from some fairly minor tears in the borders and a few stains, the poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. This sort of water staining responds really well to restoration, and likely can be removed with little or not paint restoration. Still, bear in mind this rare poster's defects before bidding on it.
