An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German "A1" Movie Poster (measures 23" x 33" [58 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) Tystnaden (released in the U.S. in 1964 as "Ingmar Bergman's The Silence"), the 1963 Ingmar Bergman Swedish emotional-turmoil-between-sisters melodrama ("Winner Sweden Film Academy Award - Best Film of the Year, 1963") starring Ingrid Thulin, Gunnel Lindblom, Birger Malmsten, Hakan Jahnberg, and Jorgen Lindstrom NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction either was not linenbacked all that well, OR the poster had more significant defects that were well corrected or both (you can tell which type it is by reading our written comments about the poster's condition). In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had some creases and tiny tears around the edges with some faint stains in the top white background area, and in the solid white of the girl's face at right. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone had the poster mounted onto a very thin linen, and then they put a circular punch hole in the top left and top right (and likely displayed the poster by putting those punch holes over hooks). I don't think I have ever seen anyone do this to a linenbacked poster before, but the poster could still be easily removed from the thin linen and re-backed. Learn More about condition grades
