NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bob McCall Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first release in 1968, it was in a very limited release in theaters that showed it in Cinerama. MGM made three different one-sheets for this Cinerama release. The style A Cinerama poster had the classic "space wheel" art. The style C Cinerama poster had the "centrifuge" art. The style B Cinerama poster had the art of men walking on the moon, and those posters were stamped "MOON MEN" on the back, but they were not stamped "style B" (which makes it an unmarked style B). When we auctioned these posters (which are many times more rare than the "non-Cinerama" one-sheets, which were used when the movie went into general release to theaters that did not have Cinerama equipment), we identify them as style A, style B, or style C.

The poster had an extra horizontal fold 1/4" above the regular top one with creases and scuffs between the folds. It had some tiny bits of surface paper loss scattered across that top foldline and at the bottom two crossfolds. It had some creases, scuffs, and fine surface paper loss on parts of some folds and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
