If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that while the studios made jumbo window cards for almost every title throughout the 1930s and 1940s, it appears that next-to-no theaters ordered them, because very few of them survive from ANY 1930s or 1940s movies. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded across the middle and it had creases and scuffs along that fold and some creases in the 1" below that fold in the right half of the poster. It had just a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image and very minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
