If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this Italian photobusta measures 18" x 26" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a great number of creases across the center 2" of the poster. There were a few creases down the vertical foldline and some creases in the background area above Peck's head. There were pinholes in the corners and creases scattered around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and linenbacking has significantly minimized the effect of all the creases, but they are still noticeable, more so the ones across the center of the image.
