If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very unusual poster. It appears to be a 1949 re-release Casablanca one-sheet, because it has all the correct NSS information at the bottom, but it is not. The 1949 re-release is two-color (red and black), while this poster is one-color (brown). We have sold this poster in the past, and did not know exactly what it was, but we correctly guessed that is from the 1970s (it is printed on paper consistent with one-sheets from that period, and it was folded like a one-sheet (although of course this example has been linenbacked). WE NOW KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE POSTER! It was printed for a Bogart film festival in the 1970s. The festival organizers could not afford full-color posters, so they used a 1949 re-release poster and had it photographed and reprinted. So please bid on this poster knowing it is a 1970s film festival poster that reproduces the 1949 re-release one-sheet. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was created by photographing a 1949 re-release one-sheet that had noticeable fold wear, so this poster does as well, but it is in the printing and not a defect. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
