What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small areas of paper loss and separation in the top quarter of the vertical fold and some tiny tears and tiny paper loss scattered in the rest of the vertical fold. It had two extra horizontal folds 3" below the bottom horizontal fold. It had some smudges and stains scattered in the title and some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
