If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned this style B half-sheet once before, and that was six years ago! Also note while this poster can be rolled in a tube, it would be far safer to send it in a large flat package. We will do that, unless the new owner accepts responsibility for having it rolled. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had a diagonal cut that ran from the left of Bogart's chin through his chin and ending an inch from Hepburn's face. It had tears, smudges, and areas of paper loss around the edges, with paper loss in the center of the credits at bottom. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the poster (meaning they backed the poster onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the poster still looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. Given the poster's defects described above, the restorer did a pretty good job, but you can see signs of the defects. Also, because the poster had paper loss in the center of the bottom credits, the restorer put tape on the back of that area, no doubt to aid in the restoration. Finally, note that someone put two pieces of clear tape in the center of the top and bottom blank borders. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of exactly how the poster looks now.
