Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned three examples of this one-sheet, but the last one was 23 years ago! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold, with some tiny bits of paper loss and scuffs in the bottom horizontal fold. It had tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds and a few tiny tears in the borders. Someone had the poster mounted onto a thin paper backing solely for preservation and no restoration was performed. One could either display the poster as it is, or one might choose to have restoration performed, either with or without re-backing the poster. What ever the new owner chooses, they will have a wonderful poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
