Note that there is a tiny "9/59 Depot legal 59/3" with "25824" by that at the bottom of the poster. This means that this poster is from the first release in 1959, and that this is the third time the poster was printed. 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
