An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Mexican Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 37") (Learn More) Jamaica Inn, the 1939 Alfred Hitchcock English crime adventure thriller ("From the novel by Daphne du Maurier"; about a young Englishwoman who goes to live with her aunt and discovers a gang of thieves living next door) starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara (in her third movie role!), Leslie Banks, Horace Hodges, Hay Petrie, Frederick Piper, Robert Newton, and Emlyn Williams NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it was never folded and it had some scattered small areas of paper loss in the middle right of the poster and some paper loss around the edges of the poster. The entire poster had darkened. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
