If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). NOTE THAT THIS PARTICULAR POSTER WAS PAPERBACKED ON TO A PRETTY HEAVY BACKING. It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that this half-sheet SHOULD not be rolled in a tube, because it can damage the paper backing. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good. The poster had creases along both folds and tiny paper loss at the crossfold and an upside-down V-shaped tear just above Jones' eyebrow on the vertical foldline. There were pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster. The person who backed the poster pretty much just backed it "as is", and you can still see signs of the above defects, which are more noticeable because they are in Jones' face. Any talented restorer could certainly perform additional restoration to this poster without re-backing it, after which the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
