If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. There was an NSS number stamp on the back of the poster in red. It somewhat bleeds through in MacMurray's cheek, and his chin, and in the area between the stars' chins. Other than the above defects, the poster had some fold and border wear. The person who restored the poster pretty much just mounted the poster, which worked fine, except the bleed through at center is still visible (although it is not very distracting). Any good restorer could touch up that area without re-backing the poster. The person who linenbacked the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
