Artist: Howard Terpning Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "Cinerama" poster from this car racing movie. When the Cinerama movies were first released, the studios printed posters with large Cinerama logos, but when the movies moved to a wider run (including theaters without Cinerama projectors) the studios printed new posters either without the Cinerama logo or with it greatly reduced. Cinerama posters from Cinerama movies are far more rare than the "non-Cinerama" posters! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The bottom 6" of the poster (which had the small credits) was trimmed off by the theater that used this. It also had three extra horizontal folds, located unevenly spaced between the top and bottom folds. There were scuffs and fine surface paper loss on parts of many foldlines. There was an extra vertical fold just to the left of the regular vertical foldline, with many scuffs and creases scattered down the center of the poster. There were pinholes and some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer put back 4" of blank space at the bottom (in place of the 6" that was missing that had the credits). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its significant defect (although it does display pretty well as it is!). Learn More about condition grades
