This is an original half-sheet movie poster produced for the 1955 theatrical re-release of Cecil B. DeMille’s adventure epic Unconquered.

The poster features a central illustration of Cooper and Goddard, with Cooper depicted in buckskins holding a flintlock pistol. The background includes blue-toned action sequences depicting historical conflict. A secondary illustration on the right side of the poster shows a canoe with several figures plunging over a massive waterfall.
The poster includes a full credit block listing featured cast members Howard Da Silva, Boris Karloff, Cecil Kellaway, and Ward Bond. Production credits note Cecil B. DeMille as producer and director, with a screenplay by Charles Bennett, Fredric M. Frank, and Jesse Lasky, Jr., based on the novel by Neil H. Swanson. Printed text indicates the film was presented in Technicolor by Paramount Pictures.
Official markings include a copyright notice for 1955 Paramount Pictures Corporation in the lower left corner. The lower right corner displays National Screen Service (NSS) property information and the identification number R55-402, confirming the 1955 re-release date.
