What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded once in each direction and there was wear and separation on both foldlines. There were some creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered through the image and tiny tears, tiny areas of paper loss, and some faint stains around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
