If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most collectors agree that this style B one-sheet from this movie has a superior image to that of the style A one-sheet. We have only auctioned two of each style, and those two times we auctioned a style B one-sheet were in 2008 and 2009, when they auctioned for $1,793 and $3,600, and both were in lesser condition. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the folds. It had a few pinholes and tears in the borders, and there was once a piece of tape on the back of each corner that caused surface paper loss in that area when it was removed. There were a few smudges in the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, with no excess linen, but at some point after it was backed, it acquired a water stain in the bottom border that extends very slightly into the edge of the bottom of the image (you only see the outline of the stain). It also caused the poster to slightly "lift" from the linen in that area. Any talented restorer could likely restore the water stain and re-glue the area without re-backing the poster (and of course, this great poster could be displayed as it is, or it could be re-backed). Whatever the new owner chooses to do, they will have a wonderful poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
