If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this half-sheet, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked in such a way that it can be sent rolled, we will do so (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

The poster was folded and there were creases, scuffs, and surface paper loss on both foldlines. There were some creases and small tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see some signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that after the poster was paperbacked, it was roughly handled, and there is now a 1 1/2" tear in the left of the bottom border, both in the poster and in the paper backing.
