Artist: Ernst Litter
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this German poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this German movie! That poster has now been reconsigned to us (and the new owner had it linenbacked and restored), so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had separated along the vertical foldline. It had some areas of paper loss around the edges and a few other defects around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
