If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this poster before (and we have never auctioned the style A half-sheet either)! 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. 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.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had pinholes and some stains around the edges, with a pinhole near the center of the poster in the background, and a pinhole in Grable's leg and one in the background below her leg, with a few pinholes scattered in the rest of the image. Overall, the poster was in good to 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.
