This was the image that the world fell head over heels for in the '30s and '40s, though that was surely not a position Sonja Henie found herself in. Her graceful turns on the ice define this classic die-cut poster for Trushay skin lotion from the '50s, long after she had parlayed her two-time Olympic gold medal performances into a Hollywood movie career playing, what else, ice-skaters. 19.5" tall cardboard poster is 11.25" at its widest across the bottom. Ms. Henie racing across the ice like a comet, her blond curls circling her head like a halo, a pastel winterscape behind her. Cleverly cut piece is EX with some wear of the edges and overall soiling but the colors are strong. Back has affixed stand.
