Artist: WJH Important Added Info: Note that we never before auctioned this insert! Not only that, but the only poster we have ever auctioned is a one-sheet, which, oddly, does not show Daniels swimming, and instead has her with glasses fully clothed! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking?

It had some pinholes and tiny paper loss around the edges, with a few pinholes scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
