NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gosta Aberg Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen or heard of this great Swedish poster before! It is dated 1942, and there is no doubt it is from the first Swedish release in that year. It has a completely different image of Welles unlike anything else we have seen for this classic movie! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had two evenly spaced horizontal folds and two evenly spaced vertical folds, with minor wear on those foldlines. There was a vertical scuff mark running from the bridge of Welles' nose, down his cheek, and ending at the edge of his mouth. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
