If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Toddy Pictures acquired the rights to this 1941 Dixie Nat'l Film Exchange movie, and re-released it in 1948. Because the Toddy Pictures posters are not marked as being a re-issue in any way, they are often mistakenly sold as originals, but they are in fact from the 1948 re-release! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster may have been slightly trimmed (it now measures just under 27" x 41"), but it may have measured 28" x 42" originally, but if so, only blank white paper was trimmed. There was tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and scuffs on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
