America's favorite love story..."; "In a glowing drama of yesterday... fresh with the sweetness of eternal spring"; "Forgotten corners of the human heart thrill to the radiance of Jo and Beth and Meg and Amy.... in Little Women"; "A new sensation of sheer loveliness glorifies the screen!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; from the equally classic novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott) starring Katharine Hepburn ("In today's best-loved romance"; as Jo), Joan Bennett (as Amy), Paul Lukas (as Professor Bhaer), Frances Dee (as Meg), Jean Parker (as Beth), Edna May Oliver (as Aunt March), Douglass Montgomery, Henry Stephenson, Spring Byington (as Marmee), and John Lodge (billed as "John Davis Lodge"). There had been many adaptations of this classic novel, but almost everybody considers this to be the definitive version, and Katharine Hepburn to the be definitive Jo March!

This means the poster was backed onto a heavy Japanese rice paper (acid-free). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, and window cards. Condition: very good. This poster was paperbacked. This is a process similar to linenbacking, but only Japanese rice paper is put on the back of the poster, not linen as well. This can only be done to posters in fine condition, for paperbacking only allows for slight restoration. It is done more for conservation reasons (to de-acidify the poster) than for any other purpose. The poster looks and feels more like a regular poster than one that is linenbacked. the poster VERY expertly restored! It now looks perfect and it is very difficult to see the restoration, even on close inspection; it appears that the borders of the poster were tattered with many pinholes, creases, and small areas of paper loss (extending into the edges of the image); whoever restored the poster did so in such a way that they repaired the damage WITHOUT putting on new borders or replacing entire areas of paper. Yet the matching was done so nicely that it is very hard to see the repairs; there were four fine slightly diagonal scuff lines that ran through the upper center of the image that are still visible, but only on close inspection; there are some areas of repair and touch-up within the image, but they are only noticeable in the closest inspection; I can't imagine a collector who would not be proud to display this poster!
