Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a vertical fold to the left of center. It had some smudges, tears, pinholes, and small paper loss around the edges, with slightly larger paper loss in the lower right blank border, just extending into the background. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
