If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this 1942 first release half-sheet before! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Also note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thinner paper backing, it COULD be sent rolled, but we would MUCH prefer to send it in a large flat package (because we fear that rolling it, even into a wide tube, would have an excellent change of damaging it, so we will only send it in a tube if the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage), but otherwise, we will ship it in a large flat package, so bear that expense in mind before bidding on this poster.

It had staple holes, stains, and some tiny bits of paper loss around the edges. It had some creases scattered in the image, including several in the large face of Power and one in the cheek of Farmer at lower left. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Please do not bid on this extremely rare poster unless you have looked at our super-sized image and can accept its defects described above, or are willing to pay to have additional restoration performed.
