Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this poster! Also note that this poster is from the first French release of this movie in 1947. You can tell it is first release because it is released and distributed by Selznick International and Hemispheres-Constellation, while the 1950s re-release (probably 1954 or 1955) is by Columbia and Selznick. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had creases, scuffs, tiny tears, and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the foldlines, and some tape stains, pinholes, and small paper loss around the edges. There was an uneven 6" tear in the left border, extending into the middle foldline. Overall, the poster was in 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
