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 one-sheet, and that was 31 years ago! That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example of this one-sheet we have ever auctioned. Not only that, but we have only auctioned that one-sheet and five lobby cards from this movie, and no other movie paper of any kind! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 26 3/4" x 39 1/2" [68 x 100 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally had much wider blank borders, and someone trimmed most of them, no doubt before framing the poster. It was folded in half an extra time, and it had small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
