Title: Back To Life
Post by: erik1925 on April 16, 2013, 02:31:20 PM

Some outstanding and artistic work done by Poster Mountain to this Douglas Fairbanks The Black Pirate OS, that was originally attached to a board. It had to be removed in pieces and then was re-assembled and conserved.

It turned out wonderfully!

Other pics and explanations are here: http://postermountain.blogspot.com/  ;D :

As received from the client, mounted to the board:

Looks good considering they had to jigsaw the poster back together.

If you go to the Postermountain website there are several blogs about its progress.  Seems it took a year or more from start to finish?
