If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were some pinholes and tears in the borders and a small tear in the lower right credits area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed years ago, but it was likely displayed in a frame (there is no excess border to the linen) and over the years, the reds in the poster have faded somewhat, and also the restoration paint that was used on the folds and in the borders now stands out from the rest of the poster in a way it surely did not when it was first done. Obviously, a restorer could perform additional restoration to this poster, but please look closely at our super-sized image and read the above before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
