If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: 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. Condition: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had two extra horizontal foldlines, roughly halfway between the regular top and middle foldlines and the regular middle and bottom foldlines. There were extra creases along both the added folds. There were pinholes, creases, tears, and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The person who paperbacked the poster did only minimal restoration to it, which I think was wise, so as it avoids the poster having a "painted over" look. Overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and it displays well. Note that the poster is slightly "lifting" from the paper backing in the upper left 3" of the poster, extending down into the girl's hair. I know that any talented restorer can re-glue this area without re-backing the poster, and without changing the appearance of the poster at all. Learn More about condition grades
