NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jos De Cock Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/4" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There is much creasing and some light rippling throughout the poster. There are light stains scattered throughout the poster (mostly only noticeable around the edges). There is approximately 1 1/2" of separation in the left end of the horizontal fold and there are a few smaller tears around the edges of the poster. There are remnants of paper tape on the back of the poster across the bottom edge, but they do not appear to be there for any restoration purpose. Fortunately, this is the kind of poster that responds well to professional restoration. The creases will surely be greatly diminished during the linenbacking process, after which the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
