Description

Ben-Hur (MGM, 1925). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Trumpeted as "The Picture Every Christian Ought to See!" this epic telling of Lew Wallace's best-seller was the most expensive silent film ever made, costing almost $4 million. This one sheet has very small holes on Roman Navarro's arm and in the left border, minor tears into the image, and a small tape lift on his cheek. One inch of the bottom border has been restored. Excellent restoration and conservation work has left the poster with a beautiful appearance. Gorgeous stone litho artwork of stars Ramon Novarro and May McAvoy. This is a museum quality relic from the silent age of cinema! Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
