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. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It was stained throughout, and there were smudges and stains scattered through the image, with creases, tears, pinholes, and areas of paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was expertly backed, but it required considerable expert restoration (more so in the background areas and not very much in the image of Garbo). The poster displays well, but it has had extensive restoration. Still, I would think anyone would be quite happy to display this great card on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
