What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had some stains scattered throughout, including in the upper half of Reed's face and some in the upper part of Ladd's face. It had some tears in Reed's hair and some small tears and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did an excellent job backing the poster. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but it will display well on the new owner's wall.
