What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had many creases, scuffs, and tiny tears scattered down the vertical foldline, including in between Wayne's eyes. There was a 3" vertical tear in the eyebrow and cheek of the girl at right center. There were pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you clearly can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
