If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that regular "heavy stock" inserts were first introduced by studios around 1922. But for a while around that time, studios made "double inserts". These were one-sheet sized posters (27" x 41"), on regular thin one-sheet paper. But instead of a single image, they had two vertical images, each with full credits for the movie! They were intended for frugal theater owners, who would buy a single such one-sheet and then they could cut them in half and have two posters for the price of one! Apparently, theater owners really liked these, because around that time, regular heavy stock inserts were introduced, and that marked the end of the special "double inserts". What is offered here is one of these very rare double insert posters. It is surely incredibly rare, as only a small number of "double insert" one-sheets are known to exist from any titles! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Condition: fine. The poster has had light restoration on the folds and in the blank borders. It was very well restored and looks great!. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
