Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that everyone agrees that this poster and "Vertigo" are Saul Bass' two best posters, and it has continued to surprise me that the Vertigo poster regularly sells for much more than this poster! Personally, I like this image just as much (or better) than the image on the Vertigo poster, and I also like this movie just as much (or better) than Vertigo! I think this is an imbalance in the "poster marketplace" that is sure to get corrected over time. I see no reason why one of these posters should sell for less than the other! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had the tiniest of paper loss at the crossfolds and a tiny circular stain 1" to the left of the middle crossfold (perhaps the size of the head of a pencil eraser). Otherwise, the poster had the most minor of fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was expertly backed, and the restorer did NOT paint over the background orange and red areas, as is done with almost all linenbacked examples of this poster! It has only had slight restoration to the foldlines. The small faint circular stain near the middle of the poster is very slightly visible, but it is not distracting. There are likely extremely few examples of this poster that do not have quite a bit of paint restoration in the solid colored areas, which makes this example stand out all the more!
