Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this Italian locandina, which is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie. One of those two examples has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Also 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. After the poster was backed, it was folded in half, so it can be shipped in a large flat package that measures approximately 15" x 15". What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded across the middle and there were several light additional horizontal folds. There were staple holes and tears around the edges and some creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, but it was roughly handled, and the poster was folded across the center (both the poster and the paper backing), and there are creases in the excess paper at middle left.
