Artist: WWD 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. Condition: very good. The blank top of the card was trimmed off, extending into the top of the "I" in "I'm", and just touching the top of the hair of Ben Lyon. There were some nail holes around the edges of the image, including one in the right of Lyon's hair, but none in either of the two women's images. A talented restorer paperbacked the card and performed restoration to the above defects, and the card displays great and does not have a "restored look" at all! Learn More about condition grades
