Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. It had some creases or tears in the bottom half of the word "MEPRIS", and a 10" crease or tear running from the bottom of the "S" at a slight diagonal to the right border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
