An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the 1921 Rex Ingram silent Argentina World War I (WWI) romantic melodrama ("An epic of modern life that has thrilled 10,000,000 American readers and many more the world over"; "Metro Presents The Million Dollar Master Picturization of 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'"; "By Vicente Blasco Ibanez"; "Adapted by June Mathis"; about the son of a wealthy Argentinean family, which moves to Europe prior to World War I, and he enlists in the French army, and he ultimately is killed by his cousin, who is in the German army) starring Rudolph Valentino, Pomeroy Cannon, Josef Swickard, Bridgetta Clark, Alice Terry, Nigel De Brulier, and Bowditch M. Turner. Note that this movie includes a romantic sequence where Valentino has a torrid love affair with a married woman, and there is a scene where they dance the tango together (which at the time was the "forbidden dance"), and it was this scene which made him a major romantic star!

Important Added Info: Note that Metro made two styles of one-sheet for this movie based on the best selling novel, and they thought so little of fourth billed Rudolph Valentino, that they did not put him on either of the two styles! But the public thought he was the best thing about this movie, and just six months later, he would have his breakout role in The Sheik, which made him a superstar! Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this one-sheet, and only one in the last 25 years! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold below the regular middle one and also a slightly diagonal fold below the bottom horizontal fold. It had pinholes, tears, and some tiny paper loss around the edges, with a 5" uneven tear and small paper loss in the top center. It had some creases and scuffs along the folds, and some in the solid colored areas. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
