Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this half-sheet, and that example was only in "fair to good" condition! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had creases and tiny paper loss on parts of both folds. It had a 5" tear in the upper left extending into Tracy's forehead. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone mounted the poster onto linen with no excess, and they did restoration to the above defects. But since that time, the poster was roughly handled, and it now has cracked down the center, causing some new surface paper loss and the tear at upper left is now "lifting" from the linen in the top blank border, and there is also "lifting" in the middle of the left blank border. I would highly recommend the new owner have it removed from the old linen and properly re-backed. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this rare poster. Learn More about condition grades
