If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not well restored. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had many creases and tiny tears along the horizontal foldlines. There was many creases and tears down the vertical foldline. There was a spider web-like series of tears surrounding the middle crossfold. There were many areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, but they were almost entirely in the blank borders. The poster was poorly linenbacked many years ago. If I owned this beautiful poster, I would immediately have it re-backed by a top professional. After proper linenbacking, and touch up of the above defects, the poster would look great! Learn More about condition grades
