Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. 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!). There were two scuff marks on the larger image of Valentino at left, in his nose extending into the upper lip. There were tiny holes at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes around the edges. The poster was quite nicely backed, and it looks great (you cannot see traces of the scuff marks at all, even when staring right at that area)!
