If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good. The poster had many creases along the horizontal foldline, and a lesser number along the vertical foldline. There were pinholes in the corners. There were many faint scuffs in the solid black background areas. The poster was well paperbacked, but the restorer chose to leave alone the black background scuffs (likely feeling they were not very distracting, and that leaving them alone was preferable to doing lots of touch up to the background areas, and I agree with that decision, especially because any restorer could perform additional touch up to the background areas if the new owner of the poster wanted it).
