Artist: Tomi Ungerer Important Added Info: Note that there are two slightly different posters for this classic movie. One has a reddish color for the top title and credits area, and the other has a "neon orange" color in that same area. We know there were two different kinds of one-sheets for this movie because there are some with one litho number and some with another, and yet it does not correlate to the two different colors described above! So we are very confused. The one with the orange color looks like it could be intended to be day-glo. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some faint areas of discoloration in the solid white background areas. Overall, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking (the restorer did not address the discoloration in the background, and it is truly not very noticeable or distracting). The poster was nicely backed, and displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
