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 paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases, separation, and tiny paper loss scattered on both folds, with some creases and smudges around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired unfortunate surface paper loss around the edges, more so in the lower left and upper right. A restorer could repair those areas without re-backing the poster, but bear in mind this significant defect before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
