Exceptionally rare poster that has only surfaced a couple of times.

This drama was directed by George Fitzmaurice, and is broadly based on the life of Mata Hari, a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan, who was executed for being a German spy during World War I. This was the most successful role for Greta Garbo who plays the title role.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds.
