Important Added Info: Note that this French poster measures 21 1/4" x 30 1/2" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had wear along the foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners and a few other minor border defects. The poster was well backed, and looks nice! At some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there is a 3" light crease in the top left corner of the linen (in both the linen and the poster). It extends solely into the background area at top left, and is not distracting. Learn More about condition grades
