Important Added Info: Note that we do not have a wall large enough in which to hang this poster and take an image of the entire poster. So we had to take pictures of it in three sections, and then join those images together. But because they were not taken in exactly the same location on our wall, the borders do not match up exactly. This results in an image that does not show the entire poster exactly right, but it certainly should give bidders a very good sense of what the poster actually looks like. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had pretty minor fold and border wear prior to being linenbacked. However, since it was backed, it has been roughly handled, and it has also been exposed to moisture. This has resulted in the poster being rippled in many areas, and also acquiring damage in the left and right borders. The poster could be displayed as it is, but it would seem quite likely that the new owner will want to have additional restoration performed, and they must bear that in mind before bidding on the poster (and of course, also bearing in mind the cost of shipping the poster, because it will need to be sent in a tube that is over 9 feet long, which will likely be very expensive).
