Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had creases and scuffs scattered throughout, with some creases, tears, and small paper loss around the edges. 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. In addition, the poster was roughly handled after it was backed, and it now has some additional creases, but it is difficult to tell which ones are from before or after the backing.
