Artist: Norman Rockwell Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not well restored. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had creases along the foldlines and many light creases and scuffs around the edges of the image (mostly in the solid background area). The person who backed the poster pretty much just backed it as is, so the above defects are noticeable. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
