Description

The Circus (United Artists, 1928). Window Card (14" X 22").
Perhaps because of problems during production -- a studio fire, a divorce, a nervous breakdown -- The Circus is the only Charlie Chaplin film not mentioned in his autobiography. However, the Motion Picture Academy considered his last true silent film good enough to award a special Oscar. This window card had tack holes, surface abrasions, and paper loss in the left border, small edge tears, and two holes next to Chaplin's head. Some of these issues have been addressed with restoration, and the card has been mounted on linen, with the linen trimmed to the edge of the poster. Beautiful color on this fun image of Charlie. Fine on Linen.
