FRANKENSTEIN, REISSUE ONE SHEET 1947 MOUNTED ON LINEN AND RESTORED
FAKE. EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTION WHICH CANNOT BE DETECTED BY EITHER THE NAKED EYE, OR A JEWELERS LOUPE. TRULY CONVINCING EXAMPLE OF A FAKE WHICH HAS FOOLED MANY EXPERTS. UNIVERSAL HORROR, BORIS KARLOFF
Here is a microscopic image of the naked paper in the "T" in the word THE in the phrase "The Man Who Made A Monster". Here we can clearly see that the color of the paper has been printed by an ink-jet style computer printer
Here we see a microscope image of the naked paper color in the "F" in Frankenstein in the main title. Again we can clearly see ink jet printing dots that mimic the look of aged paper.
Here is a microscope image of the top edge of the "C" in the word Colin. This should be naked paper color, but instead clearly visible are the printing patterns that mimic the look of aged paper.
Here we see the restored fold line in the monster's face. The center of the image shows the colored pencil restoration, flanked on both sides by those ink-jet printing patterns
Conclusion
THIS POSTER WAS NOT PRODUCED BY POSTER MOUNTAIN INC. This is a reproduction of an authentic one sheet made with a digital ink-jet printer. The poster was then folded and damaged intentionally. It was then linenbacked and restored. We have tagged this poster in the Universal logo.Ink jet color copy intentionally folded, a fake theater poster exchange type stamp was added on the back, and the poster was mounted to canvas and paper ("linen-backed") then restored as though it was an original poster. Borders were airbrushed, fold lines were touched up with colored pencil. Great, expert effort was taken in a clear attempt to make this fake poster appear authentic. There are 2 known copies of this poster.Disclaimer
