recreation?
Rather than love and hate, why not.
" Forgotten relics from motion picture's past, Salvage, Restored
and Treasured " ... so you and your grand children can enjoy
these wonderful poster.
I personally think it is very important that we save as many old original
movie posters that we can. This poster would not have survived much longer
unless some serious rescue effort was undertaken. The tape had distorted
the shape of the poster as well as gelled the paper right through and the
poster was extremely dry and brittle. Foremost it was an rescue effort.
Please enjoy the pictures in sequence.

Hhhmmm...
I'd be curious to know what Mopers think the line between restoration
and recreation might be?

By the way, Sue. How large is the 2 panel Italian?
What is the next largest size? A six-sheet?

Tom is spot on. While many other (if not all)
flaws/defects/damage to a
poster can be treated by a restorer, once it's faded
and lost something
that was there completely, it requires a major
repaint job.
And who in their right minds would want that?

Other than pieces out I would think fading would
be one of the worst
defects of a movie poster. No amount of work by
a
professional
restorer could ever bring color back to a faded
poster IMHO. I can't
get UV plex for my large French posters so they
stay completely out of
the sunlight.
