An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked German Movie Poster (measures 37 1/2" x 56" [95 x 142 cm]) (Learn More) Leichte Kavallerie (released in English-speaking countries as "Light Cavalry"), the 1927 Rolf Randolph German silent World War I (WWI) military melodrama starring Vivian Gibson, Elizza La Porta, Albert Steinruck, Alphons Fryland (billed as "Alfons Fryland"), Andre Mattoni, Fritz Kampers, and Sig Arno (billed as "Siegfried Arno"). Based on the only poster we have seen, which shows a woman leading a charge of cavalrymen on horses with raised swords, it seems like a very interesting movie, but we could find no more information about it other than what is above. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Potter Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare "country of origin" poster from Germany from before World War II, which we have never auctioned before (it is the one referred to in the description above). There are very few German movie posters from before World War II in existence (because of the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II), and most of those few are in museums. 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? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds, with paper loss at the crossfolds. It had a few creases scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
