Artist: Charles Miggs Important Added Info: Note that this is one of four original paintings that were created for a local theater in the 1920s. At that time, theaters would often hire local artists to create hand painted individual posters for newly released movies (the most famous of these was Batiste Madelena, who created hundreds of such posters for the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, New York, between 1924 and 1928). Many of these posters were painted on a heavy poster board, and they are often around a one-sheet size. This poster was created on a heavy board and must be sent in a very large flat package, so bear that cost of shipping in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Finally, note that the art is signed by "Charles Miggs" in 1925, who apparently worked at the Alvin Wolfson Studios. Condition: fair. The painting is on a heavy poster board and will need to be shipped flat. It is very fragile, more so around the edges, and it has cracks, tears, paper loss, and surface paper loss around the edges, more so across the bottom 2". There is much staining scattered in the image, including vertical stains down the center of the image. It definitely needs restoration, but afterward, it will look quite nice. But do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its condition defects, its need of restoration, and the cost of shipping it in a very large flat package. Learn More about condition grades
