Artist: Joseph Pennell Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been mounted onto a "Chartex"-like material (we are not 100% certain it is Chartex, but if not, it is something very similar. Chartex is a backing paper that is a linen-like paper, similar to the material you line drawers with. It serves its function well in that the poster is preserved, which is why many restorers other than movie poster restorers use it, but it is very difficult to impossible to remove from the back of the poster. SO DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT LIKELY CAN'T BE REMOVED FROM ITS BACKING, AND WILL NEED TO BE KEPT AS IT IS (although it is not harming the poster, and it enables it to be displayed). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster some small tears in the center of the fold across the middle. It had some tiny pinholes and tears around the edges, with small stains in the lower left border. It was mounted onto "Chartex" (see above) with no restoration, and no excess around the edges. It almost surely can't be removed from the backing, but fortunately, it is in reasonably nice condition and can certainly be displayed as it is, or one could choose to have slight fold and border restoration done on the poster without attempting to re-back it.
