No Binding. Zustand: Fine. An extremely rare Finnish tour poster for the 1945 horror/exploitation movie White Pongo. The film was not released in Finland until February 1949 which dates this particular poster to later that year (it is not a first-release poster, i.e.). Measures approx 61cm by 43cm, printed by Loimann Kirjapaino and the artwork is unsigned (draws heavily on the Eric Rohman artwork for the earlier Swedish movie poster). At the bottom left of the poster is a small image of Charlie Chaplin with the text "plus a Charlie Chaplin short film"). An unused example in stunning condition. Centre-fold barely visible, there are no nicks or tears and no staining - minor handling creases (thin, cheaper paper-stock) are really the only noticeable, minor fault. For best appreciation of condition please examine the high-resolution image which accompanies this listing.
