What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a clean tear across the top of the image, running through the lady's hair, but there was no paper loss. There was a similar tear in the lower part of the top blank area. The poster had a vertical tear starting in the "L" of the title, running down to the bottom border, with small paper loss in the blank background. It had a few small tears scattered in the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
