If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has "Copyright 1935 Astor" in the bottom left, which seems quite odd! Normally, a copyright is for the original studio and not for the re-release distributor. In addition, it would seem likely that Astor re-released this movie in the 1940s, because that is when most of their re-releases were from, but the company did begin in 1930, so it COULD be from 1935. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. It has some scattered smudging in the bottom white background areas below the title, which could be the result of a snipe being glued over the title, or it could be something the post acquired after it was backed. In addition, the poster and the linen are slightly rippled. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
