Artist: J.R. Poissonnie Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this poster once before, and it sold for $705! Also note that this poster has offensive stereotyped images of African natives. Looking at this poster, one is amazed at just how far the world has come in the past 65+ years. Certainly, it has been many decades since anyone would ever consider putting such images on a studio issued movie poster. Condition: good. There is paper loss at the top three crossfolds, and in the part of the top fold to the right of Hope's head (see our image). The poster also had separations on parts of some folds and some tears in the borders, and someone put some pieces of conservation tape on the back of all of the above. The poster has darkened and is somewhat fragile, but after being linenbacked, it will look fantastic (and only require paint restoration in the exact areas noted above).
