DRUMS OF THE CONGO
Lot of six (6) different Original 8" x 10" Black & White Movie Stills from 1942 Drums of the Congo, the 1942 Christy Cabanne African jungle adventure thriller starring Ona Munson, Stuart Erwin, Peggy Moran, Don Terry, Richard Lane, Jules Bledsoe, Turhan Bey, and Dorothy Dandridge "with a cast of thousands" The photographs are in overall FAIR/ POOR condition with some being better than the others. They all have some combination of creases, pin holes, small tears, edge wear, tape stains, curling, image fading, and/or surface wear.
Mint
The photo is unused and has no pin holes, tears, tape marks, edge wear, fold creases or stains.
Near Mint
The image artwork area is in excellent condition and a few clean pin holes in the borders may be apparent. Some light
edge wear may be apparent from storage, age or from the previous owner.
Fine
The image is clear of any defects with the exception of clean pin
holes, small scuffs or wrinkles. You may find slight stains and maybe
clean pieces of tape or slight creases in corners or on the reverse side
of the photo. Some slight edge wear or creases along borders may
potentially also be present, careful framing will disguise this.
Very Good
A photo of this condition may have pin holes in corners, some small tears or fading and some slight scuffing or light wear along the borders.
Maybe some slight staining and creases in the image and slight creases,
paper separation or slight pen marks along the borders. The photo of this condition will display nicely as the signs of wear are largely
on the edges and borders and any good framer will be able to disguise
these with matting and a decent frame.
Good
Typically this type of photo will show its flaws. Some
staining or fading could be present with tearing, paper separation or
pen marks along the borders and in the image. Corner creases or small
creases in the image are present. Pin holes will also be present from
being displayed in cinemas.
Poor / Fair
Pieces of the image could be missing in key areas and the photo could be significantly stained. All of the above flaws in the
categories mentioned would be present. Certain defects that may not be
able to be repaired. This type of photo would be bought usually on the
basis that it is virtually impossible to get on its own or if it is a
set it is very sought after due to it being complete.
