Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a large number of creases and scuffs scattered down the right 8", and many in the lower left of the image. There was small paper loss and some tears across the bottom foldline and areas of paper loss in the bottom right credits area. There were areas of paper loss scattered down the right blank border and a lesser amount in the other borders. Overall, the poster was in 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, except for the paper loss in the blank borders and in the bottom right credits area.
