If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is some conflicting information about who created the art for this item. It is most often associated with Reynold Brown, but the website for Fred Fixler has the raw art (without any text) featured on it, and we have heard from two collectors who have the poster signed by Mr. Fixler. If anyone has further information, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was tri-folded and had many creases and tears along both folds. It had some stains and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
