An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Gala New Year's Eve Midnight Show!, the 1956 poster promoting a show to be held on New Years Eve to celebrate the end of 1956 and start of 1957, and featuring art of a smiling Baby New Year, Father Time, and several party-goers. Posters like these were ordered by many theaters prior to the major holidays, and displayed in their lobbies, but surely the vast majority of them were taken down and discarded as soon as the holiday was over, and they are extremely rare. In the case of this one, it was not uncommon for theaters to hold special midnight shows on New Year's Eve so that people could celebrate the new year at the theater and then immediately watch a movie! If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had many creases and scuffs scattered throughout, typical of 40x60s from this era. It had some small tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. The poster's defects are somewhat noticeable, but to my mind, they simply reinforce that this is clearly a vintage poster from a long ago era and not any sort of modern day reproduction, and the poster will display well as it is on the new owner's wall.
