An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Behind the Screen, the 1916 Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin) silent film-making studio slapstick comedy short starring Charlie Chaplin, Eric Campbell (as Goliath), Edna Purviance, Albert Austin, and Lloyd Bacon NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, and the last one was 13 years ago (and that example was only in "fair" condition)! One of those two examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking?

It was originally found with a complete copy of the same card. This card had the top 6" trimmed off! A restorer recreated the top 6" (using the complete example as a guide), and I doubt hardly any collectors would be aware of this if it was not told to them. Obviously this is a huge defect (as most of Chaplin's upper body and head is newly created), but this may be the only way an average collector could acquire a 1916 Chaplin window card (and over two-thirds of the card is original)!
