Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a large snipe attached to the top that not only covered the top blank area, but also extended past it (this was not unusual and we have seen other pre-War Belgians with similar large snipes). The added snipe makes the poster measure larger than other pre-War Belgians that do not have an added snipe). It also had tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the bottom of the vertical foldline and an extra horizontal fold just below the regular bottom fold, with some faint creases below that area. Other than these minor defects, the poster was in really nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
