NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jos De Cock Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of part of a poster (or something similar)! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps or old posters, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. What IS linenbacking?

You can see slight bleed-through from the printing on the back in the light colored areas. It may or may not have had a blank top that was trimmed off. It had some tiny pinholes in the bottom border. Other than the above, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the bleed-through described above. Learn More about condition grades
