Artist: Rene Ferracci Important Added Info: 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. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded once in each direction and there were creases and scuffs on both folds. It had a small brown stain in the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but someone rolled it too tightly, and there are now faint horizontal creases scattered throughout the poster (but they are not very distracting).
