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 paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat 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. Also note that this is a paperback 40x60, and it can NOT be rolled. It needs to be sent in a very large flat package, which can be sent anywhere in the United States via UPS, but it may be too large to send to other countries via the Post Office. It may cost hundreds of dollars to send this poster to another country via a freight service, so please bear that in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: very good. The poster had an uneven area of paper loss running down the right side of the poster running irregularly approximately 6" from the right edge. The "y" of "family" was missing (and also the "-" after it), as was a small part of Dean's elbow, and also the "E" of "CAUSE" at the end of the title (and the quote mark after it). Other than the above, all that was missing was the blank white border, and an uneven part of the blue and yellow backgrounds. The rest of the poster had been rolled, and there were scattered creases and scuffs throughout. The poster was REALLY expertly backed, and the missing irregular right 6" was re-created, and light touch up was done to the rest of the poster. When you look at the poster from any reasonable viewing distance, it displays great. If you go right up to the poster and stare at it, you can see signs of the scattered creases and scuffs throughout. The re-created area was done so nicely that hardly anyone would realize it was re-created unless it was specifically pointed out to them (as a test, I showed this poster to several people at our work, and none noticed the replaced right area, even after looking closely at the poster). This rare and really cool poster does display great, but please do not bid on it unless you have carefully read the above, carefully have studied our super-sized image, and can accept the restoration this great poster has had!
