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 only auctioned one style B half-sheet poster for this movie in all our years of auctioning but not this style A poster, which is VERY unusual, because it is like a giant lobby card, with a scene from the movie, something that studios did in the silent days, but almost never in the years after! Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet 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 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a tear at left that slightly enters the image area and it is repaired with conservation tape from the back. There are some smudges and smaller tears around the edges but the image area itself is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
