Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned this one-sheet once before, and that was 24 years ago, and there is a good chance this is the exact same poster we auctioned all those years ago, because that one was also paperbacked! 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had some minor wear on the folds and pinholes and smudges around the edges, with paper loss in the center of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed. It was rolled with the image inward, which has resulted in the foldlines somewhat returning, but this can be counteracted by framing the poster or leaving it flat under weight for a length of time.
