Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had creases and fine surface paper loss on the foldlines with some pinholes, stains and tears around the edges. There was a piece of tape on the left and right ends of the top foldline and a vertical scuff mark running down the inset portraits at right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not that well backed, because the poster is "lifting" from the linen across the top horizontal fold (any restorer could re-attach this without re-backing it). Also, the restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above
