If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that posters from this Universal Mummy movie have always been exceptionally scarce (and it appears to be the only one of those movies that wasn't re-released through Realart, so there is not even that option). We auctioned a single one-sheet from this movie in 1997, and we were re-consigned that poster in 2004, when it sold for $15,601, and that has been the only U.S. poster we ever auctioned from this movie until we were now consigned this second one-sheet! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tears and paper loss on parts of all the folds, with greater paper loss at the bottom crossfold (extending into half of Ford's forehead, and it had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges. Fortunately, other than paper loss at the top crossfold and a little beneath it, there was almost no paper loss in the Mummy's head or figure. There were some pen marks and writing on the back of the lower right of the poster that very slightly bled through in the girl's face and the green background next to it. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A really talented restorer expertly backed and restored the poster, and while you can see slight signs of the restoration, it displays great from any reasonable viewing distance and will look wonderful on the new owner's wall. However, please bear in mind that it did have a substantial amount of fold and border restoration before placing a bid on this extremely rare poster! Learn More about condition grades
