Auction History Result 2z219 1964 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR linen special 28x42 '64 photo of fountains & statue by Unisphere! Date Sold 5/4/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked World's Fair Advertising Poster (measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) 1964 New York World's Fair, the 1964 to 1965 international exposition held from April 22nd through October 18th, 1964 and April 21st through October 17th, 1965. The theme of the fair was "Peace Through Understanding", dedicated to "Man's Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe". The theme was symbolized by the building of a 12-story high, stainless-steel model of the earth called the Unisphere. Industrial exhibitors played a major role by hosting huge, elaborate exhibits such as General Motors' Futurama, a show in which visitors seated in moving chairs glided past elaborately detailed miniature model scenery showing what life might be like in the "near-future". If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, AND that the poster was in quite nice condition PRIOR to linenbacking! In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: fine. The poster was never folded. It was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking, and it was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
