Artist: Armando Seguso Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta and a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? In any event, please do not bid on this poster unless you realize it is not a 1939 poster, but rather a 1941 poster. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds, with small tears and small areas of paper loss on the top horizontal fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. It had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. There was a tear and paper loss in the right corner of Leigh's eye, affecting the right end of her lashes and lid, and her cheek below that. There were some tiny areas of paper loss in the center of the title. There were stains and smudges scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's many defects, it was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and there has been much painting over the yellow background areas, which is also noticeable. While this is still a 1941 "Gone With the Wind" one-sheet poster, please bear in mind the above substantial defects before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
