Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor to fair. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny bits of paper loss and creases on parts of some folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. After it was backed, it not only acquired a number of tiny areas of surface paper loss scattered in the image, but also a small tear in Astaire's top hat. More significantly, the poster became exposed to moisture, and there is now rippling scattered throughout the linen and the poster itself. Please bear in mind these very major defects before bidding.
