If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning, and we have only auctioned one German program and no other movie paper for this film! Also note that the poster has very thin top and bottom borders, but it measures 14" x 36" and is not trimmed. It is something that William Fox experimented with at this time. Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a 1/2" tear in the center of the top border that once had tape on the back. Otherwise it is in surprisingly nice condition, especially considering it is 91 years old! Learn More about condition grades
