If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this Australian one-sheet, and the last one was 9 years ago. That example has now been reconsigned to us (and the owner had it linenbacked and restored), so it is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had creases and some small tears on parts of the folds. It had tears and stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
