Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been personally autographed (signed) BOTH by Ray Harryhausen AND Ray Bradbury! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signatures to surely be authentic. Also note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 20 1/2" [36 x 52 cm].

Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had been folded across the middle and there were minor creases on that fold. There were some faint creases and scuffs scattered in the image and some pinholes, tiny tears, smudges, and stains in the borders. Overall, the card was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well!
