Important Added Info: Note that the sexy showgirl on this daybill is clearly based on the George Petty artwork which can be found on U.S. posters. However, as is common with Australian stone litho posters, it appears to have been re-drawn and "simplified" by another artist. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had some tiny brown stains in the outer edge of the top half of the left border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. After it was backed, it was slightly roughly handled, and it acquired a diagonal crease in the top right corner, both in the yellow background and in the linen behind it, but it is not very noticeable.
