Artist: JAM Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at a few crossfolds and creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the top horizontal fold and in the top of the vertical foldline above the top horizontal foldline. There was faint ink transfer in the top center area of the poster (caused by the poster being folded too quickly after being printed). There was some tiny paper loss and tiny tears on parts of other foldlines and in the borders. The gold circle behind the title is printed in a metallic gold ink, which has scuffing in it (typical of metallic colors). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting. There are two small pieces of white conservation tape on the back of the top left and top right of the poster, where the poster was once attached to a mat (but they do not affect the front).
