Description

The Unknown (MGM 1927). Window Card (13.75" X 22"). Tod Browning cast his favorite star, Lon Chaney, in this macabre and tragic tale of an (apparently) armless circus knife thrower who uses his feet to hurl his blades at Joan Crawford in his act. He eventually has his arms amputated to avoid being arrested for a jewel theft. There has been some professional restoration to the edges of the poster where there were some tears. The white portion of the imprint area has been airbrushed and there has been some work in the letters. Very Good/Fine on Paper.
