Handy, and Barrett Deems NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Franciszek Starowieyski Important Added Info: Note that this poster is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (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.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a second horizontal fold just above the regular one, with some tiny bits of surface paper loss on parts of the folds and a few pinholes and small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired a 5" slightly diagonal crease near the top center of the poster, with a 2" crease to the left of it, and that second partial crease has tiny surface paper loss (see our image for how the poster appears in the top center).
