Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had a small circular hole in Shearer's upper lip, entering the edge of her mouth, and a stain in the bottom of the second "A" of "CARDBOARD" in the title. It also had many small tears scattered down the vertical fold, with small paper loss at each crossfold, and some slight darkening on parts of the folds and in the edges of the borders, as well as some smudges in the background areas. It had some fine surface paper loss on the horizontal folds and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone mounted the poster onto linen without performing any restoration. If I owned this extremely rare poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen and properly re-backed. Bear in mind the poster's condition defects and the cost of additional restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
