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 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. Condition: good. The card had three rough horizontal folds, all near the center of the card. One went through the man's forehead and hair, one went across the man's neck and upper lip, and one went below his tie and through Dietrich's face. There were many creases and scuffs along these three foldlines and some in the image between them. There were also some creases and tears in the borders. A talented restorer paperbacked the card, and performed restoration to the above defects. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
