This is an original one-sheet movie poster from 1956 for The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Vincent Price, and John Carradine. Cecil B. DeMille directed the classic movie. Yousuf Karsh is the artist for the poster.
The Style B poster measures 28" x 42" (the untrimmed, original size) and has been linen-backed for long-term preservation and display. The poster was in very good condition prior to linen-backing with some areas of fold wear, horizontal creases along the top and bottom white edges, and a few smudges along the edges. It was folded at the time of printing but the folds are much less noticeable after linen-backing. Linen-backed posters are stored flat and rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.
Please look closely at the photos (this is the exact poster you are buying). The black circles in the corners of the poster are magnets and not pins.
This very rare and collectible poster, printed in 1956 to promote the initial theatrical release of The Ten Commandments, is not a reproduction.
