Artist: Georges Kerfyser Important Added Info: Note that this French one-panel measures approximately 47" x 63" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. Prior to linenbacking, the poster had much black marker writing on the back of the poster which had bled through to the front. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on some foldlines. There were some creases and small tears around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer did a pretty good job of painting over the bled-through areas from the back of the poster. You really barely see them when you stand any distance from the poster, but of course, if you hold the poster to the light and look closely at it, you can see the restoration.
