If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also note that this French one-panel measures 46 3/4" x 63". Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and creases and some tiny tears in the top quarter of the vertical foldline, across the top horizontal foldline. There were a few smudges in the solid white background areas. The restorer linenbacked 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 any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Learn More about condition grades
