An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded English Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60") (Learn More)

The Strength of the Weak, the 1916 Lucius Henderson silent family relationship white slavery melodrama (about an innocent country girl whose parents pass away, and custody of her is given to her father's best friend, but that man has her put in a brothel after he first seduces her himself!; the girl thinks her life is ruined, but then she meets a decent young man who can forgive her past, but it turns out the young man is the son of the very man who put her in the brothel in the first place!) starring Mary Fuller, Edwards Davis, Harry Hilliard, Curtis Benton, and Clara Beyers. Note that this movie was based on a play which ended with the girl committing suicide, but as so often happens in the movies, they changed the ending to a happy one when it was turned into a movie!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this English 40x60 is very old, and has had considerable repairs, and it is partially folded and has much tape on the back, and it would make no sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is EXTREMELY fragile, and rolling it would surely damage it further. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package that measures approximately 22" x 32". Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that the poster is not so fragile that it is "falling to pieces", but it surely is in urgent need of expert professional restoration, and likely cannot be displayed without restoration and linenbacking, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its many defects, and are willing to pay to have them properly restored.

Condition: fair to good. The poster is quite fragile and has tears and areas of paper loss on many foldlines. Someone took white conservation tape and put it on the back of most foldlines, and then partially folded the poster. We will send it to the winner of this auction in a large flat package . After proper restoration and linenbacking, the poster will look great!
