If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of part of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps or old posters, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. What IS linenbacking?

The poster was printed on the back of a map , and there is major bleed-through throughout the poster. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition. While it is true that the bleed-through from the map on the back is quite noticeable, it is also true that it is likely that all first release Belgian Madame Curie posters are printed on the backs of maps, so it is likely you cannot purchase this poster without this unusual defect! But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above and have looked closely at our super-sized image to get a sense of how it views.
