Important Added Info: 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?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had surface paper loss in the bottom of the title and below the bottom of the title, with two tears below the title. Its horizontal fold was at a slight diagonal and it had surface paper loss in the right of that fold. It had two extra vertical folds, with minor wear on the folds. It had scuff marks in Rathbone's forehead at middle right. It had pinholes, creases, and darkening around the edges. It was very slightly trimmed in the left of the bottom blank border. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
