Important Added Info: This Swedish poster measures approximately 27" x 39" and is linenbacked. Also note that this poster appears to be for a movie about a dancing ballerina, and yet in the U.S. it was released as "The Living Corpse"! Does anyone know more about this forgotten movie? Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). poster has border defects, including tears around the edges. There are many scuff marks within the blue background area. The poster is well linenbacked but the person who did so pretty much just mounted the poster and left all the background scuff marks alone. They are not very distracting, but if they bothered the new owner of the poster, a talented restorer could touch them up without rebacking the poster. Learn More about condition grades
