An anniversary release commercial poster for The Wizard of Oz, Victor Fleming’s groundbreaking 1939 Technicolor masterpiece starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. The poster features rich composite artwork highlighting the film's beloved principal cast – including Ray Bolger (Scarecrow), Jack Haley (Tin Man), Bert Lahr (Cowardly Lion), Margaret Hamilton (Wicked Witch of the West), and Toto – framed against the Emerald City and the Yellow Brick Road. Notably, this display piece has been hand-signed in marker by two original Munchkin cast members: Jerry Maren, who famously presented Dorothy with a lollipop as a member of the Lollipop Guild, and Meinhardt Raabe, who portrayed the Munchkin Coroner. Signed memorabilia featuring original Munchkin actors holds enduring appeal for Hollywood autograph enthusiasts and pop-culture collectors seeking a tangible connection to one of cinema history's most treasured films. It is presented in a custom blue mat and silver-toned metal frame.
