BORDERTOWN

One Sheet (27" x 41")
Fine- on Linen
Warner Bros., 1935

This is considered one of the best of Bette Davis' posters from the Golden Age of Hollywood. It is a rarity with less than a handful of known examples. It is an Art-Deco masterpiece.

The poster had a chip in the upper right corner and the lower left border. The title has undergone airbrushing due to a tear. There is missing paper in the lower right, affecting the letter "N" in the title. A chip in the upper crossfold intersects Bette Davis' face. Both faces have been airbrushed. There was a small chip in the center crossfold. A tear extends from the top border through Muni's face to his hand. However, professional airbrush restoration has resulted in a striking, vivid, and pristine appearance.
