Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally measured 28" x 42", but it was trimmed to 27 1/4" x 41 1/2", no doubt so it could fit a frame (and only blank white paper was affected). It also had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. There were some pinholes and tears in the borders. Someone wrote the word "Linen" in the top right corner of the poster, and you can faintly see it. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer left alone the faint word "Linen" in the top right corner (any restorer could retouch that area without re-backing the poster, and of course, it would not show if the poster was framed), and the restorer did not replace the slight missing blank border paper.
