What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had stains and smudges scattered throughout, including in the images of the stars. It had pretty minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did quite a nice job backing the poster, considering its substantial stains and smudges. You can see slight signs of them, but the poster will display well on the new owner's wall!
