If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this first release style C one-sheet, and that was 16 years ago, when it sold for $975!

Note that this poster was linenbacked and restored by the "Backing to the Future" company, which provided a 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" certificate stating that the restoration was performed by them in April 2022. It is only recently that we have seen a certificate like this, but we hope that many restorers will consider doing the same, because that lets the buyer know both which company did the restoration, and they can also ask them questions about the specific poster (and in this case, the poster is numbered, so that they know exactly which poster it was, in case they restored more than one example of it).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some creases and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, and some smudges and scuffs in the red background areas. It had some pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
