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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded down the middle and it had a few creases and scuffs around the edges. It had tiny holes that form numbers in the top right. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. At some point after the poster was paperbacked, it was roughly handled, and there is now a slightly diagonal partial crease down the right 2-3" of the poster. This is not that noticeable from the front (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
