Artist: Jean Mascii Important Added Info: Note that this French one-panel measures 45" x 61 1/2". Condition: very good. The poster had some darkening on some foldlines. There was paper loss in the left of the top horizontal foldline (the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded), and the paper loss is mostly in Hudson's eyebrows. There were a few creases and tiny tears on some other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds. There were some minor border defects. The poster was mounted on a thinner-than-usual linen, and there are a few creases in the poster that are also in the linen, which were caused by the poster being roughly handled after it was backed. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the defects noted above. Learn More about condition grades
