Belgian posters
(from after World War II) usually measure approximately 14" x 22", although they sometimes vary quite a bit. Prior to World War II they were much larger and usually measured around 25" x 34". There are other, more rare sizes from during World War II that measure approximately 12" x 17"  (few of either size survives, due to the Belgian paper shortage at that time that caused most posters to be destroyed). Unlike posters of many other countries, Belgian posters can be printed horizontally or vertically in the same size (although the majority of them have vertical images). Sometimes there is both a "vertical" poster and a horizontal poster for the same movie!
Also, the vast majority of Belgian posters have a "blank" area at the top (usually around 4" high), where the theater could either imprint or hand write play dates, or sometimes glue a paper snipe on that area (just like with U.S. window cards). Belgian posters (especially prior to the 1980s) will often have a tax stamp attached somewhere on the poster. Many collectors see this as a "badge of originality" and certainly
NOT
any sort of defect.
