Also, note that first release posters of any sort from this very first movie version of The Lone Ranger is extremely scarce, likely because it was bought by Lone Ranger fans decades ago, and has never returned to the hobby! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was displayed and faded considerably. It had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some minor wear on the foldlines. It had pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking, because of the fading. The poster was pretty well backed, but the person who backed it chose to paint over the letters of the title to try to get them back to the original red color, and that is pretty noticeable, as is the fading in the rest of the poster. Note that there is excess linen to the left and right of the poster but not at the top and bottom. Learn More about condition grades
