Yes I already know this
D. Copson, the artist who did the image cleanup & preparation made
numerous changes throughout the catalog for various reasons including
to prevent fraud (doesn't work if people are paying attention of course)
that's why I'll have to spend some time at S2 if I can and get more info
also, so that everyone is clear on this:
S2 Art did not create the images.
The images were supplied by the AFI (American Film Institute) as part
of their commercial products division
Copson worked for the AFI and not for S2

Rich and Richard:
Remember that all S2s are recreations of originals. Their person
used a high quality scan as a guide only, and then did their own
version. So there are sure to be many subtle differences. These were
intended to be homages, not slavish exact recreations. So yes there
can be added border art, and anything else added on.

Sean asked me about this a few days ago, the reply I sent to him below:
I'll try and have a better look tomorrow, but..
S2 has different crop of the artwork.
S2 is cropped at the bottom, the guy by the blue car, his foot gets
cropped off (above and between the E and V in YVETTE VICKERS.)
But strangely S2 has more artwork on the right and left than the original.
The guy in front of the police car bottom, far left, almost
completely cropped out in original.
Different type, again the S2 type extremely close to original.
The K in VICKERS, there's a curve at the bottom of the original, no
curve on S2.
The youtube clip is tough, but can't see the guy in front of the
police car, so could indicate ok?
But can't discern smoke on youtube.
And smoke doesn't seem to be on S2's but there's a little blip on
the watermarked one, (directly above car door) which seems to
correspond with darkest part of smoke in original.
It's difficult with the images they post online, smoke could be
missing from S2 or just blasted out of the online image maybe?

during the past 2 weeks while all of us were examining the Dracula
poster that has uncovered as a fraud, Sean brought up something
from the not too distant past about another poster that was
discussed on this board
The Attack of the 50ft Woman one sheet that was restored by
PosterFix last year (or was it early this year?)
When there was a debate over how PosterFix restored a one sheet on that title
I cannot find a copy of that video on YouTube, so if someone can
locate a copy of the video, please let me know
But the discussion at the time was how the poster that PosterFix
was restoring was missing an element on the poster
Again it was Sean's sharp eye that noticed that the smoke emanating
from the car in the 50 foot woman's hand was missing
This mystery may have been solved
Attack of the 50ft Woman is among the other posters that S2 Art
produced at one time and that Art.com still offeres
unfortunately S2 does not have an image online which may indicate
they no longer have copies of this litho for sale and also
unfortunately, Art.com's image of the one sheet size is a low-res
image and difficult to examine
<http://www.art.com/products/p12791867-sa-i1920552/attack-of-the-fifty-foot-woman-the.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=0&dimvals=0&ui=ac4354366ab24c71837b5b2ac08a74fe>http://www.art.com/products/p12791867-sa-i1920552/attack-of-the-fifty-foot-woman-the.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=0&dimvals=0&ui=ac4354366ab24c71837b5b2ac08a74fe
however it does certainly look as if the smoke is missing from the
image at the above link on Art.com's site
so the question is "DID POSTERFIX RESTORE AN S2 PRINT? Or an Art.com print?"
Who sent this poster in for restoration and where is the poster now??
