Artist: Mendoza
Important Added Info: Note that Hopalong Cassidy movies were re-released in Mexico in the 1950s and they were given new titles. We have been told that this poster is from a re-release of "Fool's Gold", but we can't say for certain. We have seen other 1950s Mexican Hopalong Cassidy posters that have different names. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. There was some writing on the back of the top left (in the mountains) that bled through to the front. There were pinholes and creases in the top left corner and some smudges and stains in the lower left corner. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
