Rich,
This is what I was trying to point out on NSFGE. Looks to me that art.com
is simply a retail outlet sourcing from various suppliers, and S2 the most
probable manufacturer/supplier of their limited edition lithos at least.
Don't know about the other smaller art.com repro that Rich E

S2Art lithos are on a heavy paper more like lobby cards and half sheets
they also do an offset repro, but that poster is smaller in size 24x36
I believe they make the different sizes to keep their high-quality
product in demand (if you want full size, you have to order their lithos)

do we know if it's real or not??
I'm not a fan of linenbacked posters for my collection.
due to the current scandal, it's possible I may never buy another
linenbacked poster again

Yes the Columbia Noirs and the Universal B Boxset are very much aticipated,

And here's to hoping that Criterion get the rights to do the business with

On the other note, it has not been a hobby for a long time now.

The repro:
Not that it particularly matters, but I'm going to keep saying it.
If you look closely, the majority of the type is too damn close to the
original for it to have been typeset.
Reproduction of original hand lettering from image of original,
cleaned up, filled in, edges smoothed off.
This aspect alone screams volumes on the types that began to muck up
the hobby
A most ENLIGHTENING post... i am sure many individual's eyes were
opened and the basis of fact (as well as the backstory) of a certain
segment of seller has been further discussed.
Thanks, Glenn.

Wow, this story is amazing. I was just over at NSFGE reading the thread and the
great work by Rich and Rich and it's truly unbeliveable. I do have a question

understanding that they remove the top layer of the paper and then

Can you expand upon this point further?
What major auction house was this? Who was the relative and who was running

In light of all the recent talk of shill bidding it certainly seems relevant.

This sort of sign was usually hand-painted by a local signpainter. They're nice
if you like hand-painted signs and 50s-style lettering/typography but most
people aren't interested in them because there is no artwork.

the poster can be cleaned, washed and deacidified, which also results in

Michael,
Well, you probably didn't have to worry earlier, but these days I would
have real concern if the poster is linen-backed. With modern
photo/scanning/printing techniques it is just do damn easy to create a

Surely removing the back layer card stock is tantamount to changing the
entire character and authenticity of a window card. A window card is supposed

Oh n, Lobby cards are not done like that, only window cards, they do not
have a card stock backing. Lobby cards are cleaned, washed, deacidified and

My feeling is like Dario's
just because it is an accepted practice doesn't make me want to own
it and like Dario, I wouldn't be able to keep it because it would bother me too
the reality is that I own in my collection an incredibly small number
of linenbacked posters as a % of my collection

I am astonished that any restorer would remove the back of a window card (or
insert, lobby card, or any other card stock poster)
This is complete destruction of the integrity of the paper itself and about as
far away from real conservation practice as I could imagine.

Hi Diane
Thanks for elaborating on this but I think it highlights the need for some
standards amoung linen backers/restorers ie what is and what is not acceptable.
I would not want to have a layer taken off the back of a window card - period,
but that is obviously just my opinion. If someone

I have to correct or clarify one thing:
Window cards are made of a layer of very thin paper that the poster
is printed on. This paper is adhered to the card stock, giving it
that thickness.
this is incorrect of you're saying the printer prints on one and
mounts to the other

I can see the demand for restoration dropping.
(The more cosmetic work anyway.)
And the demand for authentication growing.
Someone will need to provide it, and I don't think anyone's cornered
the market in this yet.

Yep, I'm not saying linen backing per se.
Fine when necessary, though there's too much that's been unnecessary.
Just the polishing up to the look of the brand new.

look of good, honest age.
