About the artist Jacques Kapralik (Oct. 29, 1906, Bucharest, Romania ‑ Nov. 28, 1960, Los Angeles) was a Romanian American caricaturist. He is best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s when he created film star art and movie posters.
Approx. measurements: 9 x 12 inches ... Would be great matted and framed. Would be terrific hung in a double sided frame.
This is in wonderful condition. Shows some mild bumped corners. Very tiny bit of edge wear. Hardly noticeable. Excellent for the Movie buff or fan of the Actors. Original Publicity poster, not a reproduction. Marked Litho U.S.A.
