Auction History Result 8x028 HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL linen special 26x38 poster '20s John Held Jr. art of couples dancing! Date Sold 12/8/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked Special Poster (measures 26 1/4" x 37 1/2") (Learn More) Has Anybody Seen My Gal, the series of five posters from the 1920s, all featuring John Held Jr. art. We have no idea what these posters were created to promote (it certainly could have been a movie, a stage show, or something else). If anyone knows more about these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had two vertical folds and two areas of paper loss in the top border, with a few faint stains scattered in the background areas. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid. At some point after the poster was backed, it became water stained and heavily creased in the right 6", and certainly, someone should remove it from the existing linen and properly re-back it.
