If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that it looks like the left and right borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although the bottom border has been neatly trimmed off). The card now measures 14" x 19 1/4" [36 x 49 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. Approximately 3" was trimmed from the large top blank area. Learn More about condition grades
