Henry Gordon, and Maria Ouspenskaya NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and just a few small tears on parts of some foldlines. It had some writing on the back of the vertical foldline that slightly bled through to the front in the yellow background between the stars' faces. It had pinholes in the corners. 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
