Restoration: Linen-backed
Grade: C5 Very Good to Fine. Folded, single-sided. Prior to linen backing this poster had handling/fold wear but was generally in good, used condition aside from paper chipping along the borders and corners that did not extend into the artwork. Expert restoration has addressed these flaws and the poster now appears very fine to near mint.

This gorgeous waterfall design is always at or near the top of Marilyn Monroe’s most sought after posters. Niagara was one of Monroe’s only thrillers, blending a big-budget technicolor production with film noir sensibilities. Promotional materials for this film in particular have become all the more iconic as Warhol used a Niagara production still as the basis for his silkscreen Marilyn Diptych made in the weeks after her death in August 1962.
