Artist: Rene Peron Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and the poster had darkened somewhat. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and there are now faint creases scattered down the center of the poster (both in the poster and the linen itself). They are pretty faint, and they will diminish over time, but they are somewhat noticeable, so please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster.
