An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) A Clean Sweep, the 1918 Rube Miller silent barber shop business slapstick comedy short starring Billy Armstrong, Merta Sterling (as the lady barber), Eddie Barry, Russ Powell, Chai Hong, and Bartine Burkett NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had many tears and small areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and an uneven 5" x 1" area of paper loss in the lower right of the image (below the man's sleeve). There were pinholes, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I can imagine some collectors displaying this poster just as it is, and accepting the defects and signs of restoration, although other collectors would only display it if it had additional restoration.
