Artist: Eladio Rivadulla 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). This is one of a group of super rare Cuban posters from U.S. movies that we were consigned. 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! What IS linenbacking?

It had some tears around the other edges and some paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
