An Original 1918 (from the first release of this movie in Hungary) Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Hungarian Movie Poster (measures 37 1/4" x 49 1/4" [95 x 125 cm]) (Learn More) Meres francaises (released in the U.S. as "Mothers of France"), the 1917 Rene Hervil & Louis Mercanton French silent World War I (WWI) romantic family relationship melodrama ("Written by Jean Richepin Member of the French Academy") starring Sarah Bernhardt (one of just seven movies made by the famous French stage actress!), Berthe Jalabert, Gabriel Signoret, Jean Signoret, and Georges Melchior. Note that Sarah Bernhardt was one of the most legendary stage actresses ever. She was born in 1844 in Paris, France, the daughter of poor Jewish parents. She acted while she was a student in her teens, but became the mistress of a Belgian prince, and had a child by him. The prince's family forced him to break up with her, and she became a courtesan, and she began acting again in 1866, and by the 1870s was France's leading actress, and she also toured all over Europe and in New York, earning her the nickname "The Divine Sarah". She made her first movie in 1900, and only appeared in a total of seven movies (she injured a leg in 1905, and it had to be amputated, and she performed with a wooden leg!). She continued to appear on the stage, and she passed away in 1923 at the age of 78! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Lipot Satori Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Hungarian poster! Also, the only other poster we have auctioned from this is a U.S. three-sheet, which sold for $1,850! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking?
