NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that by 1952, Claudette Colbert's star had become greatly diminished, and so the poster artist drew a picture of a beautiful Cleopatra, but she does not resemble Claudette Colbert in the slightest!

The poster had some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines and a tiny bit near the top of one of Colbert's legs. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to 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 (any restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
