This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $195 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.
Cecil B. DeMille Biblical religious sword-and-sandal doomed romance adventure epic ("The staggering story of strength... And seduction... Of the mightiest mortal who ever lived!"; "Based upon the history of Samson & Delilah in the Holy Bible, Judges 13-16; The greatest love story since the beginning of man... and woman!"; "Cecil B. DeMille's Masterpiece")
Starring Hedy Lamarr (in the title role as Delilah), Victor Mature (in the title role as Samson), George Sanders (as The Saran of Gaza), Angela Lansbury (as Semadar), Henry Wilcoxon, and "a Cast of Thousands" (usually this is a major overstatement, but in the case of this movie, it is surely accurate!)
