We previously auctioned different French poster from this movie (as well as a few different U.S. items), and it sold for $9,275, and we have never before auctioned this French one-panel, and it is surely either one of a very few examples of this poster that survive, and possibly the sole surviving example! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds, with darkening on the folds that mostly only shows in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in 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.
