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 crossfolds and fine surface paper loss on parts of the folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. After the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired a 4" diagonal crease in the upper left border, both in the poster and in the linen behind it, and also a 2" crease in the lower left border, extending into Blondell's forearm. The poster can still be displayed and enjoyed as it is (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
