What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had a triangular area of paper loss at the top crossfold that affected Sullavan's cheek and the middle of her nose. There were small tears and tiny paper loss in the vertical fold in Boyer's nose and the bottom of his forehead. There were tears and small areas of paper loss in parts of the rest of the folds, with some tears and paper loss around the edges. The upper right blank border was slightly trimmed. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's many defects, the restorer did a pretty good job, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Please carefully read all of the above and look closely at our super-sized image before bidding on this poster.
