Artist: James Bama Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and both examples were only in "fair" condition! Note that this poster has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the poster onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the poster still looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the poster no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with posters that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the posters it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes, small tears, and some stains around the edges, with some creases scattered throughout from when it was roughly handled while it was rolled, and it had a few stains scattered in the yellow areas of the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to restoration. A restorer gel backed the poster and performed restoration to the above defects. You can see signs of the restoration, and the defects in a few areas, but the poster displays pretty well. After the poster was restored, it was slightly roughly handled, and there are tiny creases in the bottom of the right blank border. Learn More about condition grades
