If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Audrey Hepburn". Condition: good to very good. The poster has extra creases alongside every fold (apparently, the poster was folded a second time, and the person did not bother to use the original folds!). It is also lightly rippled throughout, indicating it came into contact with moisture, but there are almost no signs of darkening or staining. There are three tiny brown stains in the top right blank corner and very faint staining in the center of the top blank border. There are two faint brown water stains near the bottom of Hepburn's leg and one in the background to the right of it. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the rippling and faint stains can be removed through chemical means, and the creases will mostly disappear during the mounting process, and after the poster is backed, it will look fantastic (but bear in mind the cost of this restoration before placing a bid on this classic poster). It seems quite likely that once it is linenbacked, it would grade as "very good". Learn More about condition grades
