If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had some creases and scuffs scattered in the image, but not in Dunne or Harrison's images. There were creases, tears, scuffs, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, some extending into the edge of the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
