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 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had minor wear on the folds. It had a semi-circular tear in the top left corner that separated that corner from the poster, with some tiny surface paper loss. It had tape stains in the top corners and surface paper loss in the bottom corners, where the tape was removed. It had tears and tiny paper loss in the rest of the top border, with a few smudges and tears around the edges, and a few scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
