What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had very minor fold wear. The 70mm text at left is a printed snipe that was glued to the poster, but the TODD-AO area at bottom center is printed on the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster left on the snipe, likely thinking as we do, that it adds to the appeal of this very rare poster.
