What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster's blank top was neatly trimmed off. It had a piece of tape over the bottom of the "S" of "SPECTACLE" in the title, and it was removed, and there was surface paper loss in that area. There was a fold across the middle and some small border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
