Artist: Ferrini Important Added Info: Note that we are selling two different Italian photobustas from this movie this week on eBay, and they have extremely different designs, but both certainly appear to be from the first Italian release in 1960 (they have the exact same small writing in the borders of both). Perhaps there were two entirely different sets of photobustas created for this movie (and the other photobusta has a small "B" in the bottom right corner, which would seem to reinforce that thinking). 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 to very good. The poster was folded down the middle and there were small scuffs down that foldline. There were many scuffs down the left 2" of the poster and a few scattered through the rest of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above (any restorer could likely touch them up without re-backing the poster).
