If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have seen a different 1966 re-release one-sheet with the exact same image, but with a different litho number at the bottom and a different arrangement of the small type at the bottom. We would assume they are both original to 1966, and we can't say why there would be two posters with different printing information, but we have seen that on other posters (except not on re-releases). 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: fair to good. The poster had creases, tears, and areas of paper loss scattered down the vertical foldline, more so at the crossfolds, and including a horizontal tear going through Taylor's eyes. There were scuffs, tiny tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of the horizontal folds. The borders were folded back and there are staple holes, tears, and some paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster fairly well backed under the circumstances, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, so bear that in mind before placing a bid.
