If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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. Condition: good to very good. This poster has been paperbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been paperbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. Generally, it had fine surface paper loss on most foldlines and some creases and smudges around the edges. There is red in the top left corner which may be in the printing or may be a defect. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the paperbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I can imagine some collectors displaying this poster just as it is, and accepting the defects and signs of restoration, although other collectors would only display it if it had additional restoration. Note that the poster was roughly handled after it was paperbacked, and there are now some creases in the middle of the left white border. Learn More about condition grades
