What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It also had some tiny creases along parts of the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
