Artist: Tomi Ungerer Important Added Info: Note that there are two slightly different posters for this classic movie. One has a reddish color for the top title and credits area, and the other has a "neon orange" color in that same area. We know there were two different kinds of one-sheets for this movie because there are some with one litho number and some with another, and yet it does not correlate to the two different colors described above! So we are very confused. The one with the orange color looks like it could be intended to be day-glo. 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: good. Note that the poster was printed off register, meaning that the orange color is off from where it should be. We have seen another example of this poster that had a slight registration issue, but this one is much more significant. In addition, the poster had a Canadian censor stamp in the top left corner and it also had paper loss in the vertical fold above and below the top and bottom crossfolds, and some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer painted over the censor stamp, but they left alone the off-register area (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
