Auction History Result 1d052 VARMLANDERS Swedish 34x47 '32 great colorful art of pretty blonde Annalisa Ericson! Date Sold 5/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 34 1/2" x 47 1/4" [88 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) Varmlanningarna (released in the U.S. as "The Varmlanders" and "The People of Varmland"), the 1932 Gustaf Edgren Swedish romantic melodrama (based on the Fredrik August Dahlgren play, apparently about the first settlers of Varmland, and there were several other movies based on this same play) starring Annalisa Ericson (billed as "Anna-Lisa Ericson"), Gosta Kjellertz, Georg Blomstedt, Ivan Hedqvist, and Hilda Borgstrom. Note that we (and almost surely YOU) had never heard of Varmland before seeing this poster, but it actually is a place with a rich history! It is a section of middle Sweden on the Norway border. The writer of the play this movie was based on was one of Varmland's most notable playwrights and songwriters of the mid to late 1800s, and this was one of his plays (but we were able to find out little about it). Note that Varmland is where Greta Garbo's movie "Gosta Berlings Saga" was set, and it also played an important part in World War II, because after the Nazis occupied Norway, the Varmlanders fortified their border with Norway, and were able to successfully keep the Nazis out! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Swedish movie! Also note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot make it out. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Finally, note that the poster was partially folded and will need to be sent in a flat package that measures approximately 14" x 19" (it cannot be rolled). Condition: very good. There are tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the top of the right border and a lesser number of tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the borders and foldlines. Learn More about condition grades
