If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this half-sheet, and that was 8 years ago, when it sold for $6,200! The buyer of that poster had it restored and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

The poster was folded once in each direction and had the tiniest of paper loss at the crossfold and some tiny bits of surface paper loss on small parts of the folds. It has 2" of separation at the right end of the horizontal fold and 1" at the left end of the horizontal fold. It has some pinholes around the edges, with faint stains in three blank corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to restoration. The person who backed the poster did a nice job doing so. You can see slight signs of the restoration (especially from close up), but the poster displays well! Learn More about condition grades
