Artist: John Alvin Important Added Info: Note that there are many reproductions of this "studio style" one-sheet in the hobby, most of them unfolded. We have seen many of them and returned them to the consignors because we felt they were almost surely reproductions. However, this poster does not have any of the printing defects that we have seen in the reproductions (fuzzy printing in the credits, and some slight differences in coloring from the known originals, and slight differences in the smoke at the top). Before linenbacking, this poster measured exactly 27 1/4" x 40 13/16" (but it now measures slightly differently; see below for why), and it is the studio style original one-sheet from 1982. Please also note that that we know that there are many reproductions of this poster, and one of the ways to tell if it is an original is by the measurements. We want bidders to know that this poster is 100% original! It measures slightly different from that of unbacked studio style one-sheets, but that is because the poster's size slightly altered during the linenbacking process (this is not at all unusual). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It also had scuffs and tiny paper loss in the bottom quarter of the vertical fold and a small diagonal crease in the bottom right 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. A restorer could perform touch up to the folds without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
