Artist: Jacques Kapralik 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 significant defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. 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!). The poster had tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds and tiny areas of paper loss along most foldlines. There was tape on the back of the extreme left and extreme right of the top foldline extending into the edge of the image background. There were pinholes in the corners and some other border wear. The poster was pretty well linenbacked, but you can see signs of the fold restoration, even from a distance away. Learn More about condition grades
