ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Stone Litho
Very Good on Linen
Universal, 1930

This poster is one of only two copies confirmed, with the other residing in the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library. It is an extreme rarity, truly exceptional in every regard.

This exceptionally rare poster has undergone professional linen restoration. There are some chips and minor tears in the lower quadrant of the poster. The credit area has received more restoration than the upper two-thirds, which was in very nice condition before backing. The poster presents well despite slight chipping at the 'ER' of 'Western.' The borders have been skillfully airbrushed.

"All Quiet on the Western Front," the 1930 film adaptation of the 1929 novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque, a veteran of the Great War, is hailed as one of the most powerful anti-war films ever made. It starkly portrays the pointlessness and futility of war through the perspective of young German soldiers enduring the terrors of trench warfare. The film, nominated for four Academy Awards and won two for Best Film and Best Director, remains as incisive and moving today as it was nearly a century ago, sharply conveying the shocking inhumanity of the conflict.
