Artist: Juanino Renau Berenguer Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Mexican poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Mexican movie, and it sold for $580! Note that this linenbacked Mexican poster (and 98 others, which we are auctioning in 99 separate auctions) comes from a remarkable collection of Mexican posters which was assembled over many decades! We auctioned the first 81 of these in our August 2023 Major Auction, and those included many great rarities, and they sold for as much as $2,505, but there were also a number of great bargains that sold for well under the cost of linenbacking alone! NOW, we are auctioning an additional 99 posters from this amazing collection, which again includes many great rarities, including 22 Mexican posters with art by Ernesto Garcia Cabral! There will again be the chance for great buys in these honest no reserve auctions, and many of these posters may not be offered again for many years, if ever! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had an unusual defect, which is that there is massive ink transfer in the top of the poster. Apparently it came in contact with moisture while it was folded, and the outline of the title letters was transferred to the top of the poster. It is most noticeable in the black background (where it kind of looks like "heat waves"), but it is also in the man's face, although it is not nearly as noticeable. Otherwise, the poster had fairly minor fold and border wear. The person who restored the poster did a good job, but they left alone the ink transfer described above, so bear this significant defect in mind before bidding on this.
