If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had tiny tears in the top quarter of the vertical fold and someone had put tiny pieces of tape on the back of those. It had a tape stain in the center of the top border and an irregular tear in the background below the "LL" of "LILLIAN" at top left. It had pretty minor wear on the rest of the folds and pinholes, tears, and some stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed onto a thin linen, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, but the poster can be displayed pretty nicely just as it is (see our image). Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
