Artist: Averardo Ciriello Important Added Info: Note that this Italian three-panel was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. It is an unusual Italian size. Right after World War II, Italian posters were made in odd sizes, and it was not for several years until they "standardized" their posters into the now traditional one-panel and two-panel sizes. We used to think that they only made these "Italian three-sheets" right at the end of World War II, but in 2015, we were consigned a 1954 Italian three-sheet, and also a 1953 Italian three-sheet, so we know that they continued with this size until that time (but they are surely extremely rare).

The poster had some kind of staining all around the borders (perhaps it was attached to something, or something was attached to it). There was some tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, more so along the foldlines. There was some writing on the back of the bottom center of the poster that lightly bleeds through to the front. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
