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 half-sheet, and that was 10 years ago. The buyer of that half-sheet has now re-consigned it to us, so this is still the only example of this half-sheet we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had circular paper loss at the center (around the size of the head of a pencil eraser). The poster had been folded once in each direction and there were some creases, scuffs, and a few small tears along both foldlines. There were some creases, scuffs, tears, and very tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking (it is very rare to find a Warner Bros. half-sheet from the 1930s that has survived in nice condition, due to the "linen-like" paper they used at that time). The poster was expertly backed, and the above defects were well corrected, and the poster will display well on anyone's wall! Learn More about condition grades
