An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/2" [70 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. Artist: G.F. Bodin Important Added Info: Note that we sold a poster of Clark Gable that was also Swedish and had a very similar design and look to this poster (created by the same artist), and it was also on a very thin linen with the linen folded over at the top and bottom. That one was from 1933 or very close to that. So we feel pretty certain this poster is also from that time, and it seems quite possible that they were first distributed on the thin linen, given that both these posters were that way.

The poster was mounted to a thin linen with the linen folded over and stapled at the top and bottom (we think it may have been distributed that way; see above). The poster was never folded and there are some creases and scuffs scattered throughout, with some wear in the left and right edges. Learn More about condition grades
