If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds and a tear with creases and small paper loss just to the right of Bogart's nose. There was a 1/2" x 2" area of paper loss in the top of Bogart's forehead and in the bottom of his hair. There were some creases and tears on parts of some foldlines and some pinholes and tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the defects and the restoration of the above defects (but any restorer could perform additional restoration to the above defects without re-backing the poster, and it would look fantastic!).
