5- Movie Poster Found Behind Artwork
This piece of art was also found at a thrift shop. Found by Laura Stouffer, an art dealer and collector noticed a print of “Shepard’s Call”.
Yes, it’s the painting that shows a dog who has found a lost lamb in the snow. Painted at some point between 1850 and 1880, the painting was immediately recognized the print and bought it for a low price.
Her intention was to clean the dusty picture so she took the backing off. Then she discovered that between the frame and the print was an original window card from the 1930 classic film All Quiet on the Western Front.
It was the same movie poster that theaters would have used to advertise showings.
Very little memorabilia remains from the film, making the poster more valuable than the print she initially bought.
