Note that Mel Blanc is credited in IMDb as the voice of Dumbo, which is interesting, since the elephant has no lines of dialogue! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release posters from this classic Disney movie are extremely rare (no doubt both because it came out at the beginning of World War II, and also because it was re-released so many times). But the posters other than one-sheets and lobby cards are virtually non-existent! We had NEVER auctioned even one first release half-sheet or insert from this movie until we were consigned this wonderful style B half-sheet! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some creases and just a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. A thin sliver (approximately 1/4") was trimmed from the right blank border. There were some pinholes, tiny bits of paper loss, and tiny tears around the edges, with just a few smudges scattered in the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was wonderfully backed by a really top restorer, and it will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall (and as we said above, not only have we never auctioned this poster before, but we have also never auctioned any first release half-sheet or insert from this classic Disney movie!).
