Important Added Info: In England at that time, there was a huge paper shortage during World War II, and so they printed many of the movie posters at the time on the back of already printed posters (a practice pretty common in Belgium and France during World War II, when there were huge paper shortages). The poster offered here was printed on the back of another poster. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was printed on the back of another poster (see above). It is fortunate that the poster has a lot of dark colors to it, because the printing from the back hardly shows through at all. It also had a horizontal tear in the middle right extending through the middle of the "I" of "HEIGHTS". The poster otherwise had pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed by a really talented professional, and it displays fantastically! Learn More about condition grades
