Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had its top and bottom blank areas trimmed off, and it had some paper loss at the left and right. It had stains and smudges scattered in the image area. Overall, the window card was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the restoration and the background areas appear to have been overpainted. Learn More about condition grades
