What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some small tears in parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! The poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the middle right (any restorer could re-glue that area without re-backing the poster).
