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 heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had pinholes, tears, stains, and areas of paper loss scattered throughout, including in Lloyd's head and hair. Someone did they best they could do in paperbacking the poster given its many defects. They paperbacked the poster and painted over the borders and top blank area, and also painted over portions of the solid colored areas. However, you can clearly see the card has had substantial restoration (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
