If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that very few early 1930s six-sheets survive, likely because the vast majority of them were glued directly onto walls, so they could not be taken down. This is a very rare example of one that did survive, and it is from one of the early RKO movies, and it has wonderful stone litho artwork (and the movie itself is a "lost film")! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. At some point after it was backed, it came into contact with moisture, but SOLELY down the left edge of the excess linen, and the excess linen is slightly rippled in that edge only, but it does not affect the poster itself.
