A Paperbacked Swiss Advertising Poster (measures 35 1/2" x 50 1/4" [90 x 128 cm]) (Learn More) Eastman Kodak is a company founded by George Eastman in 1888 that historically focused on photographic film products. During most of the 20th century, Kodak held a dominant position in photographic film and its tagline "Kodak moment" became a common phrase. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an example of early and modernist photo-montage poster. Also, note that this poster is undated, but Kodak Verichrome film was made from the 1930s until 1957, but we believe this box design is from the early 1940s, so that is when this poster is from (because the box design changed after that). 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a 2" tear in the center of the bottom border and a diagonal crease in the top right, going through the left of the word "Film". It had a few minor creases in the rest of the image, with some scuffs in the solid black area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed with no excess paper around the edges, and it displays well! It appears the paperbacking was primarily done for conservation purposes and not for restoration purposes.
