Note that Paramount gave this movie a really major release, and virtually every poster on the movie has completely different artwork from all the other posters! Note that the advertising for this movie states that "3,000 actors spend 3 months on a location 80 miles from the railroad. 1,000 Indians were used and the livestock included 600 oxen, 1,000 horses, and 500 mules"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back (especially the entire lower quarter of the poster which has full separated and is held together only by the tape). The rare poster is in need of restoration. Certainly a top restorer can repair the defects described above, and after, the poster will display really well, but please bear in mind the poster's many defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
