Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, and one of those examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was likely a window card that had its top trimmed and was folded across the original middle. It had many creases where the fold was. It had pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer painted over all of the borders and the white background areas, to "even them out".
