Artist: Dos Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1951 first release Spanish poster! 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. Finally, note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had many pinholes around the edges, with some tears in the top and bottom borders. It had a long semi-circular tear in the middle right, with many tiny areas of paper loss within that tear and above and below it, extending into Davis' shoulder and sleeve. There was small paper loss at the top crossfold and some tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds, with some creases, smudges, and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds. The poster had staining, tears, and small paper loss in the top right background area. Someone long ago backed the poster onto a very thin paper backing and performed restoration to the above defects. If I owned this rare poster, I would surely have a top restorer remove it from that thin paper backing. After proper restoration and linenbacking, the poster will display really well, but bear the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
