If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is incredibly rare, and we have never auctioned it before. We only one time auctioned the French one-panel poster, which has very similar art to this poster, and that one was in much lesser condition and it sold for $685 in 2012. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/4" x 18 1/2" [36 x 47 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had two horizontal folds and two vertical folds. There were some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. There was a faint partial stamp in the top center under the first "LO" of "LOLLOBRIGIDA". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
