An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Scrooge, the 1935 Henry Edwards English Christmas holiday fantasy family melodrama ("Based on 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens") starring Seymour Hicks (in the title role as Ebenezer Scrooge; billed as "Sir Seymour Hicks"), Donald Calthrop (as Bob Cratchit), Robert Cochran, Mary Glynne, Garry Marsh, Philip Frost (as Tiny Tim), Oscar Asche (as the Spirit of Christmas Present), Marie Ney (as the Spirit of Christmas Past), and C.V. France (as the Spirit of Christmas Future). Note that three years after this movie, MGM made "A Christmas Carol" with Reginald Owen, and in 1951, there was an English version with Alastair Sim. Movie posters from both of those movies are quite rare, but posters from this 1935 Paramount version are beyond rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had several small tears in the top and bottom quarters of the vertical fold. It had a lesser number of tears in the rest of the vertical fold and very minor wear on the horizontal folds and very minor border wear. The colors of the poster are bright and fresh. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. A really talented restorer did a wonderful job with the linenbacking, and not only does it display really well, but few people could spot the restoration it has had, even from inches away (and it has truly not had very much restoration).
