Not a movie poster but a great example and explanation of restoration techniques:

Wow! That is just AMAZING!!! Although I can see it for a historically significant artifact like that, but I wonder what kind of reaction youd get if you took a 1st run star wars in to those restorers??

Not to mention the price tag that would be attached that kind kind of involved restoration!!

I'd like to know how much was spent in tax payer $$$ on that restoration! I bet it was something ridiculous...

Still an amazing transformation IF most of the original paper was salvaged.

The linked article says that the restorer only charged $5,000.

Here are some actual "befores and afters" of movie posters. Work done by Dario Casadei of www.vintagemovieart.ca

Dario certainly does outstanding work.

A few other poster restoration "befores and afters":

Great stuff, Jeff.
I did notice that the restorer left something off the MAD LOVE window card -- the 's'...Dead Hands now Dead Hand...

Good spot, Brude!
I hope the restorer rectified it??

I seem to remember that being pointed out before? Hmmm...but very good eye Ted

Here it is to view it a bit easier, plus a poster from heritage for comparison

Some minor differences:
The fly in her eye unsettles me, the writing looks crooked and his lower face is browned

The restorer got the coloring all wrong. I would rather hang up a good color repro.

Who was the Restorer on that one??

erik1925 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2011, 05:04:38 PM »

Paul, the restorer who did the MAD LOVE card (the one missing that S in HANDS, too), was Poster Restoration.

Mmm, will give them a miss. I have a couple I am planing on getting done later in the year, and want a top notice job.

A few from J. Fields, on the east coast:

The J. Fields stuff looks very decent.
Who has experience with them?

I've used them a couple of times. Good stuff.

The Mona Lisa as it could look if cleaned up. See the NYTimes article about any copy of Mona Lisa that was painted (probably by a student) at the same time Da Vinci was painting the original.

HA, I was about to post this article. Small world.

To me, it seems more mysterious in its dirty, deteriorated state.
