Farrell MacDonald, and Vivien Oakland NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet was first paperbacked at one time, and then at a later time, someone had a restorer linenback it as well (apparently so that it would be easier to frame). At some point after it was linenbacked, it started to "lift" from the linen in the left and right sides (a restorer could either re-glue those areas or the paperbacked poster back to the linen, or they could remove the paperbacked poster entirely from the linen). Because the poster could not safely be rolled, it will need to be sent in a large flat package, so bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. What IS linenbacking?

It had pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was paperbacked, and the person who did so did next-to-no restoration within the image area, but they painted over the borders, to "even them out". After the poster was backed, someone had a restorer linenback it as well (apparently so that it would be easier to frame). At some point after it was linenbacked, it started to "lift" from the linen in the left and right sides (a restorer could either re-glue those areas or the paperbacked poster back to the linen, or they could remove the paperbacked poster entirely from the linen).
