If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is undated. However, someone hand wrote "1930s" on the back of the poster in pencil, and we have no reason to dispute that, so we are identifying it as being from the 1930s. If anyone knows more about the date of this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had some darkening and faint smudges around the edges, with just a few tiny tears in the bottom of the left and right borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to backing. Note that this poster has been mounted onto a "Chartex"-like material (we are not 100% certain it is Chartex, but if not, it is something very similar. Chartex is a backing paper that is a linen-like paper, similar to the material you line drawers with. It serves its function well in that the poster is preserved, which is why many restorers other than movie poster restorers use it, but it is very difficult to impossible to remove from the back of the poster. SO DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT LIKELY CAN'T BE REMOVED FROM ITS BACKING, AND WILL NEED TO BE KEPT AS IT IS (although it is not harming the poster, and it enables it to be displayed).
