Important Added Info: Note that first release 1925 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned one of each one-sheet (one 13 years ago, and one 26 years ago!) from this movie until we received this still. Condition: very good. There is a pinhole in each corner, with some creases and a few very tiny tears in the borders. Note that there are white areas in the corners that look like they COULD be a defect of some sort, but they are NOT. They exist on stills from silent films that have this sort of black border around the edges. It appears that stills of this sort were made by actually blowing up a frame of film, and perhaps those white areas are some sort of sprocket holes. In any event, they are contained within the printing and are not any sort of defect! Learn More about condition grades
