If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2016! 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 poster can be rolled, but if so, we would only put it in a 6" tube for fear of its condition lessening through rolling it tighter. We would suggest that the winning bidder consider sending it in a large flat package, but that will be the choice of that winning bidder. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had some creases and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with paper loss at the left end of the horizontal fold and in the bottom of the vertical fold. It had some scuffs near the horizontal fold and tiny paper loss in the right of the top border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. Someone paperbacked the poster, and after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it has now been folded down the middle, which caused surface paper loss down the center, and it also caused scuffing across the middle. The poster can be re-restored, but bear the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades ![]()
