If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta and a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? In any event, please do not bid on this poster unless you realize it is a poster from 1941, and is not a 1939 poster. Also, note that we have had collectors suggest that Armando Seguso is the artist behind this poster but we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive evidence as to who created the art, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the middle crossfold and just a few dots of surface paper loss on parts of the foldlines. It had some tiny bits of paper loss scattered in the top background area (just to the left of the inset circle) and it had tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was really expertly backed, and displays great!
