That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The entire poster had darkened and it had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and some fine surface paper loss on the foldlines, with some small tears and smudges in the bottom horizontal fold and in the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline. The poster was backed onto a pretty thin linen with no restoration, and it was roughly handled after it was backed, so there are now some creases in the bottom right and in the top center that were caused by poor handling, and it is slightly "lifting" from the linen. If I owned this cool (and surely very rare) poster, I would have it removed from the thin linen and properly re-backed, after which it would look wonderful! Learn More about condition grades
