Artist: Saul Tepper Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some 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!). The poster had small tears and small paper loss in several places in the vertical foldline. There was a 1/2" circular hole near the left edge of the center foldline in the red background area. There were tears, pinholes, smudges, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but it is slightly "lifting" from the linen in the middle of the left border (any restorer could easily re-glue this area without re-backing the poster).
