Artist: Al Hirschfeld
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has great artwork by the legendary Al Hirschfeld! A collector of Hirschfeld art tells us that to the best of his knowledge, this artwork was never used on first release movie paper (though it was used in trade publications), so this Hirschfeld art is only found on 1958 re-release posters (and while we have had 1958 re-release lobby cards before, this is the very first time we have ever had this really cool one-sheet!).

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds and small paper loss at the bottom crossfold. There were some tears and small areas of paper loss in the right of the bottom horizontal fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the other foldlines. The bottom 2" of the poster was folded over and there are staple holes in the corners with some smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
