Eternally Yours - Loretta Young & David Niven Movie Poster

14.5in x 19.5in

Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was printed on the back of part of a map . Fortunately, the poster has very few light colored areas, and there is almost no bleed-through from the map on the back, except slightly around the edges. The poster has several horizontal folds with minor wear on those folds and some stains in the right of the top border, which appear to be from a tax stamp. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed 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 a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on the back of part of a map! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves!
