Important Added Info: Note that this poster was one of three examples of this poster that were found many years ago. This example had paper loss in the upper left that extended into the image background, and it had a 1" strip of darkening at a slight diagonal across the bottom of the top blank area that extended into the "Carl Laemmle presents", the very top of the "H.G. Wells'", and the background above those words. There was a thin oval of surface paper loss in the top center of the image, with a tiny area of paper loss in the bottom of that oval. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty nice condition when it was found! To see an image of the poster prior to restoration, click here. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked.

UPDATED 11/01/2012: Note that for the first 36 hours this auction was online our images of this window card had a tiny piece of debris in the credits area (our photographer failed to notice it). We have re-photographed the card with the debris removed, and have replaced the image (you may need to refresh the auction page or clear your browser cache to see the corrected image).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had paper loss in the upper left that extended into the image background, and it had a 1" strip of darkening at a slight diagonal across the bottom of the top blank area that extended into the "Carl Laemmle presents", the very top of the "H.G. Wells'", and the background above those words. There was a thin oval of surface paper loss in the top center of the image, with a tiny area of paper loss in the bottom of that oval. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed by Precision Restoration in California, and the restorer recreated the missing area described above and also removed the light darkening described above, and it displays really well (I would think most people would not recognize the restoration that was done, even standing next to the poster)!
