NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Vandor Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster, which we have never auctioned before! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Condition: fair. While the poster was folded, it suffered paper loss in one area that translates to four areas when the poster is opened. They are in each corner of Valentino's image, and fortunately they do not affect his face. The poster is also fragile, but certainly, a talented restorer can repair the above defects and it will display wonderfully, but bear in mind the above defects before placing a bid.
