Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away earlier this year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had paper loss at several crossfolds and tears, paper loss, and stains on parts of some foldlines. There was a very large studio-issued snipe glued over the original title area and it was not glued on carefully, so there are many creases in the area of the snipe. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was backed onto a paper backing, with the slightest restoration. If I owned this cool poster, I would surely have it removed from the paper backing and properly linenbacked, but do not bid on this poster unless you can accept it as it is, or are willing to pay to have it re-backed.
