If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare poster. We have only auctioned one example of it in all our years of auctioning, and that one was in fair condition, and it auctioned for $1,880! Also 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). 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 because this poster was paperbacked onto a somewhat thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would likely damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). It will need to be sent in a large flat package which measures approximately 24" x 30", so bear this shipping cost in mind before placing a bid on this poster. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases, scuffs, and some surface paper loss on both folds, with paper loss in the center of the top border that extended into the very top of the exclamation mark and the brown background next to it. It had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster, with a pinhole near the center. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
