Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this poster before, and we don't know exactly what it is! It COULD be a window card, but it measures slightly too wide, but because it has had restoration, it could have slightly "stretched". That would seem to be the most likely answer, but amazingly, we have never seen a window card from this classic movie, so we can't say for certain. It is also possible it is some sort of trade ad, but there is no printing on the back of it, as you would usually see on a trade ad. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty of what it is. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Because the poster has had some restoration, we would prefer not to roll it, but rather sent it in a flat package, but we will roll it if the new owner of the poster chooses. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was likely a window card that had its top trimmed and was folded across the original middle. It had many creases where the fold was. It had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer painted over all of the borders and the white background areas, to "even them out". Learn More about condition grades
