Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from an exhibitor magazine, and had a trade ad for a different movie on the reverse (but we can't tell what exhibitor magazine the trade ad was from).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The trade ad was removed from a magazine and the two pages had tiny holes down the interior edge of each page, from where the magazine was bound. It had slight bleed-through from the ad on the back of the trade ad, but that is really not very noticeable. Overall, the trade ad was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The trade ad was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and there are now light vertical creases down the middle of the left and right pages and some creases around the edges.
