If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: 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.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had creases and tears around the edges, with a diagonal crease in Banky's cheek near her mouth, and a few other creases scattered in the image. Overall, the window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was nicely backed, and displays well!
