If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, or it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, or it had fairly major defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had writing on the back of the poster that bled through to the front in the top of the image. The person who restored the poster painted over the bleed through in the cheeks of both stars, and also painted over the bleed through in the yellow background areas. It was somewhat crudely done, and you can clearly see there has been restoration in those areas. The rest of the poster was in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking.
