Artist: d'apres Boris Grinsson Important Added Info: Note that this poster reuses the Grinsson art from the first release French poster, but because it was not the first time the art was used, the poster designer added "d'apres", meaning that this was not the first time this artwork was used. There is "6/53 Depot legal 2/53 (23.578)", and this means that this is the second printing of the poster in 1953. Also note that in the early 1990s (prior to the Internet!), we were told by an expert that "Gone with the Wind" first premiered in France in 1947, but the IMDb says that did not happen until 1950. Either way, then this is definitely a 1953 re-release and this is the second printing from 1953. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster is extremely rare! We have never auctioned it before (and of course, we have also never auctioned the first printing of this French Grinsson poster either). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was slightly roughly handled and there are now minor creases in the top of the right border (solely in the excess linen, and not at all in the poster itself).
