Artist: Jim Pearsall Important Added Info: Note that this is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box. Also note that there was a 1 1/2" x 2" logo in the bottom left corner of the solid black area from CIC, an international distributor. The person who linenbacked the poster painted black over this logo, for unknown reasons. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was folded in half an extra time, and there was light wear on all the foldlines. There were pinholes, creases, and some smudges around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. There was a 1 1/2" x 2" logo in the bottom left corner of the solid black area from CIC, an international distributor. The person who linenbacked the poster painted black over this logo, for unknown reasons. The overall restoration was pretty well done, and the poster would display well, but please do not bid on this poster unless you are aware of the painted over international logo!
