If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of several British quads that were consigned to us by a man who has worked in the film industry for many years. A long time ago, he acquired these British quads when he worked with 20th Century-Fox, and he has kept them carefully stored for many years, which accounts for some of them being in wonderful condition. He previously consigned some quads two years ago, and now he has returned with a few more! Anyone who collects British quads knows how rare it is to find ones from the 1950s in any condition, and to find them in at all nice condition almost never happens. What IS linenbacking?
