If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning. Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had some pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges, but they were in the blank borders. There were some tiny areas of paper loss in the middle of Rin Tin Tin's face at top center and a few tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was really expertly backed and restored, and it displays fantastically, and the restoration is not noticeable.
