Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Swedish poster from this classic Rudolph Valentino movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has very minor fold and border wear. It was attached to something with a piece of tape in the center of the top and bottom borders. There is surface paper loss in the center of the top border where the tape was removed, and the piece of tape is still on the center of the bottom border, and the front of that tape is slightly sticky. Otherwise, this poster is in really great condition, especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
