Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1943 first release half-sheet, which has a completely different image from the other posters of this title! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had parts of each blank border trimmed off, but the small text at the bottom was not affected at all, and only blank white paper was affected. It had scuffs and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with a second vertical fold 1 1/2" to the left of the regular one. It had diagonal creases and tears scattered across the top of the poster, in several places in the top tagline and entering the forehead of the woman. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. It displays great from a normal viewing distance, and the new owner of this poster will have an incredibly rare and desirable one to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
