Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 21 years ago, when it sold for $690! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen posters of this period, but it is not fragile, which is a big plus. The poster was tri-folded at one time, and there were creases along those folds, and someone put tape on the back of those. There were also several other light partial horizontal creases scattered throughout, including one going through the bridge of Sheridan's nose, which left some marks in that area. There are some creases and small tears in parts of the borders, and some creases scattered throughout the poster. There was a faint stain in Sheridan's neck, and someone put a small amount of restoration paint on that area. From any reasonable viewing distance, the above defects are not that noticeable, and the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly restoration can be performed.
