NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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 major defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had paper loss down the vertical foldline, including some down the center of Harpo's face. There were multiple pinholes in the corners (and paper loss in the right blank corners), some creases and tears along the horizontal foldlines, and smudges throughout the poster. The person who restored the poster did the best they could, but you can clearly see there has been restoration down the vertical foldline. 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
