A 1928 one-sheet (27 by 41 inches) for the First National western. Programme westerns were the industry's steady bread - made quickly, booked widely, reviewed by nobody. This sheet is a good specimen of the standard one-sheet at the very end of the silent period, weeks before sound made the whole category obsolete overnight. The full-bleed landscape treatment, with the title band kept low so the art carries the top two-thirds. The ordinary western, on the last afternoon of its era.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
