NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie! Also note that this poster measures 39 1/4" x 86 3/4" [100 x 220 cm]. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: very good. The poster was kraftbacked (see above). It has tiny separation and tiny paper loss on some of the crossfolds, and some minor wear around the edges and on the folds.. Other than the kraftbacking, it has survived quite nicely! Any talented restorer could remove this poster from the kraftbacking, and after pretty simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
