If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned an example of this first release one-sheet, it sold for $2,288! Note that poster designed Erik Nitsche is credited on the back cover of the pressbook with what is likely a 24-sheet that is text only, and it seems quite possible that he might have created some or many other posters for this movie, given their unusual designs. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the middle crossfold, with some tiny tears and tiny paper loss on small parts of some folds, and with a dime-sized area of paper loss in the right of the middle fold, in the red area. It had an extra horizontal fold 2" below the regular one and some minor border wear, with a small stain in the bottom left green area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen on the top and bottom of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
