NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: G. MacDonald Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie! Also note that this poster measures 39" x 86 1/4" [99 x 219 cm]. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: good. The poster was kraftbacked (see above). There is an oval-shaped water stain near the center of the poster in Laye's cheek and the side of her nose (see our image). There is separation and tiny paper loss on some of the crossfolds, with pinholes around the edges and some smudges and stains scattered throughout the poster. Any talented restorer could remove this poster from the kraftbacking, and after restoration (much or all of the smudges and stains can likely be removed chemically), the poster will look fantastic!
