If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that just about everyone agrees that the image on this poster, which is completely different from the U.S. posters, and posters from other countries, is the best image created for the first release of this classic Halloween movie. It is very desired by collectors, and the last example we auctioned (in our 2017 Halloween auction) sold for $1,500! Also note that this Australian one-sheet measures 25 3/4" x 38" [65 x 97 cm], but it has not been trimmed, and, for unknown reasons, that is the size it was when it was created! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had two extra horizontal folds 3" above and below the regular top and bottom horizontal folds. It had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It had staple holes in the corners, with paper loss in the top right blank corner, caused by rough removal of the staple. It had a thumbnail crease in the background area in the upper center. The poster was used in another country other than Australia, and someone colored in the rating box under the title, but it is still clearly readable. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer solely addressed the fold wear and left alone the thumbnail crease and the colored in rating box (see our image).
