If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that it is unusual to have a large poster paperbacked, but that was done in this case (see below). Because the poster could be damaged if it were rolled in with other posters, it will be sent by itself in a long tube, and it CANNOT be combined with any other purchases. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny creases and fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that collectors usually do not paperback posters larger than a one-sheet, likely because of the possibility of a larger poster being damaged when it has no linen backing. The advantage of paperbacking is that it still looks and feels like an unrestored poster, and that is definitely the case with this poster (but greater care must be taken in handling it, although that will of course no longer be true once it is framed).
