Artist: Reginald Mount Important Added Info: Note that Cuban posters from the 1960s and earlier are incredibly scarce! American movies were shown there until some time after the Castro revolution, and then they were not. It seems that the posters from those American movies were likely all trashed (or possibly recycled). We were just consigned a group of super rare Cuban posters from U.S. movies, and also we were consigned this Cuban "three-sheet" from this most classic English movie! All of them have varying degrees of condition issues, but one can't afford to quibble about that, because it is amazing just that they have survived at all! To find this poster from this most classic English movie is especially remarkable, because it may be that next-to-no Cuban three-sheets from this time period exist at all, due to its large size! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on many parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
