Important Added Info: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked. Condition: 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!). The poster had tiny paper loss at each crossfold. There were creases and a few tiny tears in the vertical foldline. The bottom 3" of the poster was folded back at one time and there were creases and pinholes across that area. The top 1" was folded back at one time. There are pinholes and small tears around the edges of the poster. The person who backed the poster pretty much just backed it without restoration. As the minor defects are primarily in the borders and are not very distracting, I would think most people would be happy to display the poster as is, but any talented restorer could perform additional restoration to the poster without re-backing it.
