An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 1/2" [69 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) The Shining, the classic 1980 Stanley Kubrick English/U.S. family relationship insanity horror thriller ("A Masterpiece of Modern Horror"; "Based on the novel by Stephen King"; "Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick & Diane Johnson") starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers, Barry Nelson, Philip Stone, and Joe Turkel (as Lloyd, the bartender) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this poster was linenbacked and restored by the "Backing to the Future" company, which provided a 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" certificate stating that the restoration was performed by them in November 2022. It is only recently that we have seen a certificate like this, but we hope that many restorers will consider doing the same, because that lets the buyer know both which company did the restoration, and they can also ask them questions about the specific poster (and in this case, the poster is numbered, so that they know exactly which poster it was, in case they restored more than one example of it). Note that this poster measures 27" x 40 1/2" [69 x 103 cm], and in the past, we had been told that it was a "studio re-strike" that was made later in the 1990s, and indeed, there IS a re-strike that measures 27" x 40 1/2". However, THIS poster is not a re-strike! Even though it looks very similar to the re-strike, the paper is slightly "older" and the poster is folded. How to explain it? The posters we have seen like this were printed by Warner Bros. and we know that they were distributed to Canada in 1980 (we have seen one that has a Canadian poster exchange stamp, and a 1980 NSS stamp on the back, and that one had tape on the front of the rating box, all verifying that one WAS used in Canada in 1980!) We believe that this means that this poster was made by Warner Bros. in 1980 and was used at least in Canadian poster exchanges, and then, when someone made the studio re-strike in the 1990s, they used the plates from this studio-printed poster, and not the poster printed by the NSS, which measures 27" x 41".

The poster had creases, scuffs, and surface paper loss on the folds and it had some discoloration in the right border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
