What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor. The borders of the poster had been trimmed off and there were pinholes, tears, smudges, and stains throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in poor condition prior to linenbacking. Some amateur restorer did the best they could, mounting the trimmed poster on a 22" x 28" piece of linen, and simply painting over the missing "borders" (to simulate borders, but they were not added). They then put a fair amount of paint throughout the poster (especially in Rogers' face), but it is debatable whether they improved the poster. You can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have further Learn More about condition grades
