Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this chapter 8 one-sheet, and it sold for $1,210! Note that, for unknown reasons, almost every example of a one-sheet from this movie that has survived with darkened paper and tears and paper loss along the folds! It is likely because of the paper stock that was used. It must have had a very high acid content, because most of the surviving posters I have seen all have turned to a brown color and have paper loss on the folds and borders. One would obviously prefer to find one in excellent unrestored condition, but that might take you the rest of your life! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster, like almost every other example of posters from this serial (see above), had darkened overall, more so in the borders. It also had tears and areas of paper loss along the folds. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did a really nice job in backing this poster. It will display well on the new owner's wall, and even from pretty close up, it does not show that it has had a lot of fold restoration. As noted above, one would prefer to find a better condition example, but that might take many years! Learn More about condition grades
