If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Republic Pictures for use for all of the chapters of their "Commando Cody" series. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom right. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each chapter title snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Also, note that a knowledgeable collector believes that Glenn Cravath created the art for this item. However, we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive proof such as signed original art, 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: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pretty minor wear on the foldlines. There was a jagged tear running from the right of the top border just above the "C" of "CODY" and running down to the middle crossfold. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around three of the sides of the poster (they left a small border on those three sides in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame; there is no excess on the top of the linen).
