This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster has three vertical folds and two horizontal folds. It had a top blank border that was trimmed off at one time (typical of Belgian posters of this period). The poster had many creases and smudges along the vertical folds. They were minimized during restoration, but are still somewhat noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
