Artist: Anselmo Ballester Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Condition: good. The poster had separation and fine surface paper loss on parts of many foldlines and tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had an unusual defect in the upper right of the poster which is a kind series of brown vertical stains scattered over the entire top right area (mostly in the white background, but including in the head of the girl). We have no idea how this poster came to be this way! It may be a printing defect, or it may have been caused by something laying over the top right corner of the poster, or there could be some other cause. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
