NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we are not sure what country this poster is from! In the past, we have had a few similar posters (in layout and size), and we have called them "Spanish" meaning they are from Spain, but Spanish collectors have e-mailed us that they are definitely NOT from Spain, and some have suggested they might be Brazilian. We have also labeled some of these unknown Spanish language posters as being "South American", and no one has ever been able to zero in on a specific country. We think it is unlikely this poster is from Spain, or for that matter, unlikely that it is from Argentina, Venezuela, or Colombia. If anyone knows more about what country this poster is from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and creases, tears, and tiny paper loss in the bottom horizontal fold and in parts of the vertical foldline. There were some tiny tears and creases around the edges of the poster, and some faint smudges scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster and the poster is slightly "lifting" from the linen around the edges and at the right end of the top foldline (any restorer could re-attach this slight lifting without re-backing the poster).
